Chapter 224: Poor
General Chenglang's mount ---- Snow Ink Divine Horse! That was specially purchased by Princess Qingyu from the Imuran Merchant House and given to Tiehua!
"Which way do you see Your Highness going?" Tiehua strangled the horse's head, but it was the silver flower on her shoulder that asked.
The soldiers hurriedly pointed to the west, and all of them replied in unison with flattery: "Go to Fuxingtai." ”
Golden Feather Shuanghua glanced at each other, and immediately turned the horse's head and chased west.
At this time, Zhu Zhiling in front was using all his strength to pull the reins and gallop his horse.
The pain in her abdomen was so unbearable that she couldn't even sit up straight, and could only lie half-on the horse's back, when suddenly a sharp pain came from under her, and she almost fainted.
She reached under her hand, and suddenly felt a wetness on her hands. At this time, Bai Yucong happened to pass through a forest, and the silver moonlight poured down, and she looked at the moonlight, and her hands were full of blood. Looking back again, the back half of Bai Yucong's body was almost completely dyed red.
After taking two Suzaku fetal pills in a row, now the effect of the medicine is gradually dissipating, and his body is almost exhausted.
Zhu Zhiling didn't feel like a dead heart, and cried: "Child, it's my mother's temperament that is too strong to keep you, fortunately, the three of us in our family don't have to be separated anymore, and you won't suffer the hardships that your mother has suffered......"
The time is coming to an end, and a hundred dreams are waiting to be awakened.
After a while, Bai Yucong had already carried Zhu Zhiling to Fuxing Terrace.
The palace maid on night duty in front of Yingze Hall saw Zhu Zhiling coming on a horse from a distance, and hurriedly greeted her.
In the past, the princess had an urgent matter to play at night, and she also rode back and forth in the stars and moons, and always drank tea to moisten it before arriving at the palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the palace maid served the tea cup today, Zhu Zhiling threw it to the ground and smashed it, and the palace maid was shocked to realize that Zhu Zhiling's body was already full of blood, and she couldn't help screaming.
"All down! Stand guard at the door of the temple! No one is allowed to put it in! Zhu Zhiling snorted and repelled the palace maid, while he forced his steps and stepped on the steps in front of the Fuxing Platform step by step, leaving a blood mark on almost every step.
Fuxingtai ......
There are thousands of palaces in Taiye City, but this is the only place that has accompanied me Zhu Zhiling for the rest of my seven years. Laiyi, Qingwu, is just a tomb in the carrion outside the splendid splendor, only this Fuxingtai is my true home.
The heavy doors of the Yingze Hall were pushed open, and the vast hall was empty.
Zhu Zhiling dragged his steps and stood in a corner of the main hall and looked at the hall, behind the table in front of the imperial staircase, the curtain and soft couch for himself to lie down and listen to the recital were still quietly placed there.
It turns out that when you look from the bottom up, this is the scene.
Zhu Zhiling held the Coiling Dragon Pillar with one hand and squinted at the position in the middle of the hall.
Gradually, it seemed that the sun was shining in, getting brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire hall with a transparent and golden glow.
On the throne of the palace sat a young woman, with a bead powder face, red lips, a pair of phoenix eyes that were not angry and mighty, and the head was wearing the purple and gold crown of the nine phoenixes. At the foot of the stairs, there are countless civil and military officials, all of whom are respectfully wearing court clothes, holding jade wats, and shouting long live three times and nine knocks.
On the side of the imperial steps, there was also a man, tall and thin, like a green bamboo, with a blue and gold crown on his head, smiling at the woman.
Zhu Zhiling stretched out his hand to probe, and suddenly his eyes darkened, and all the illusions disappeared again.
"Immense...... We can't do it after all. ”
After a while, a low woman's sigh came from the side of the dragon pillar. Then, a figure hobbled towards the side hall leading to the rear.
There was still no light in the entire Yingze Palace, and everything fell into darkness and silence again, as if no one had appeared.
After another moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps at the entrance of the temple.
A hill-like figure appeared on the main hall.
Yinhua stood on her sister's shoulder, stretched out her hand and threw a piece of Biyan foil, and the greenish-white light instantly illuminated a corner of the hall.
"Here, there is blood on the ground, and I went to the Coiling Dragon Pillar." Yinhua pointed to the pillar in the northwest corner and said, "In that direction, she must have gone to the Moon Tower, chase after it!" ”
Tiehua listened but stood still.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Chase it. ”
"Sister...... Tiehua hesitated, "you say...... Are we really going to kill her? ”
"Sister, what are you talking about? We've been waiting for so many years, isn't it just for today? What's more, the order of the great butler, do you dare to disobey? ”
Tiehua seemed to be a little sullen, but after all, she took a big step and walked towards the side hall.
Yinhua has been here many times, and if there is any urgent news at night, she will climb the wall and climb directly to the platform, and today she will take Tiehua to walk the right path together, but she is not very familiar with it, so that the two of them went around for a while before they reached the upstairs.
When the two stepped into the dormitory, Zhu Zhiling was sitting on the edge of the couch in a daze, and she looked at the side where her husband had slept before, and now it was as cold as ice.
She heard the familiar footsteps behind her, and asked without looking back:
"You're here...... Are you here to kill me, or are you here to arrest me? ”
Zhu Zhiling's face was pale, and her voice was very indifferent. She felt a little cold on her body, and she couldn't help but shiver, and when she looked down, there was a large pool of blood under her feet.
It was his own blood, and it was the blood of his children.
Yinhua replied, "No, we came to see you die." ”
Zhu Zhiling shook his head.
"I don't understand, I've treated you both well over the years, and you've been loyal to me. Why did you abandon me overnight? Don't say that you voted for your mother because of your loyalty, and don't say that she can give you more, I won't believe these words. ”
Yinhua sighed and said, "Actually, it's not overnight. We've been waiting for 25 years. ”
"Twenty-five years?" Zhu Zhiling looked at Yinhua, as if she didn't know her for the first time.
"Want to know? You just told your mother a story, so now we'll tell you a story too. Yinhua's figure flashed with a grin, and it stopped on top of a cold incense burner.
"You blue sea country, there is a village on the edge of the valley of the sickle that borders our Imuran."
“…… You are the Imurans. ”
"Yes, that village is hidden in a small valley to the east of Kamakaya, but it's remote. In the past, when Imuran's fugitive slaves went south, they stumbled upon that hidden place, so they quietly built a village, and thought that they would live in peace without asking about the world. Tiehua and I were both born there. ”
Tiehua still didn't speak, silently listening to her sister mention these old things.
"Originally, you Bihai Kingdom didn't know either. But twenty-five years ago, the old man Lu Xingyuan suddenly sent a bunch of soldiers over to dig pits and dig soil at the mouth of the Kamakorani. The people of the village saw it from afar, and they didn't know what they were going to do, but then they saw that they actually filled the pit with countless amounts of gold, and then built a huge gold wall! The people of the village saw that the golden wall was getting closer and closer to the village, and at last they could not hide from it, so they simply came over with food and drink to reward the soldiers, thinking that they might be able to stop them from telling them about the sight of the village. The leader of the group of soldiers agreed, and said that he hoped that the people of the village would help him. At that time, the village chief only wanted to avoid trouble, and he tried his best to agree, so he asked him how he could help. The general said that in fact, it was not enough to build the golden wall, and in the end there was still some green water to be poured on it. If the villagers are willing to help water for them, not only will they keep the secrets for the villagers, but they will also receive some silver for their wages, and they will be happy. ”
Green...... Zhu Zhiling suddenly shuddered, the battle of poison gold!
"Originally, my sisters and I were also going to water the green water, but it happened that the food at home was taken to those soldiers, and we were two girls who had no strength, so my father and mother asked us to go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables. Unexpectedly...... Ay. Yinhua sighed, took out a handful of sweet walnut kernels and stuffed them in her mouth, the more she chewed, the more sad she became, and her tears couldn't help but fall down.
Seeing that her sister couldn't continue, Tie Hua continued: "When we come back, all the people in the village are dead, and those soldiers are long gone. ”
Yinhua suddenly smashed the walnut kernel in her hand towards Zhu Zhiling, and then cried like a child: "It's all your Bihai Kingdom!" Do such a wicked thing! said that he wanted help from the villagers, but in fact, when he saw that we were Imurans, he didn't want to let us go, and he thought in his heart that he wanted us to pour venom on you as a substitute for the dead ghosts, so he simply poisoned them together, and even saved the report to the official, which is really killing two birds with one stone. I think that the people who escaped from Imulan were drowned in the swamp near Linzhou, and there was just a little bit of people who could get away with the catastrophe and hide at the border to survive, and you don't want to let go! ”
Seeing Yinhua's words, Tiehua became more and more excited, and persuaded: "Sister...... In terms of age, the princess was still an ignorant child that year, and she couldn't be blamed entirely. ”
"I don't blame her entirely, but her surname is Zhu, and they can't get rid of the Zhu family! Sister, haven't we been lurking for so long, just to watch their blue sea country ruin and perish? It's just the beginning, and you're soft-hearted? Do you remember how tragic your father and mother died at that time? ”
Although Tiehua is tall and big, she is a sister after all, and Yinhua is speechless after a few rhetorical questions.
Yinhua stopped crying, turned her head and stared at Zhu Zhiling hatefully:
"You asked us where we came from and how we came to Taiye City. We didn't lie to you, we came from that village in Linzhou, and we even told you where that village was. We Imuram people are not as deceitful as you Bihai people. ”
Zhu Zhiling was in a trance, but she still remembered.
Yes, they said that their village had a plague, and the whole village had died, and only the two of them were left. Later, he sent people to the village to investigate, and it was indeed full of dry bones, as if it was caused by the plague. But I didn't expect it...... It would be a plague of poisonous gold.
Zhu Zhiling sighed: "I see, it turns out that you have been planning for a long time, and the Golden Feather Camp that voted for me back then was just waiting for an opportunity. I finally figured it out, how could Emperor Wen know that I was going to do something in Hanjiang, presumably when I sent you to the capital of Emperor Wanhua to deliver the letter, you had already told him all about my plans? ”
