Zhu Zhiling bowed her head and was silent when she said a word, but Zhu Zhiling still couldn't stop talking, and continued to reprimand: "God is pitiful, my empress of the Zhu family has been thinking hard for generations, and every day she has been trembling and holding the golden crown to sit in danger, and now the heirs of the emperor are all gone, and only you are left with hope." You really don't know, don't you even have the slightest intention to learn? As he spoke, suddenly there was a blood mark flowing down his eyes, and it hung on his cheeks and turned inky black, which was very terrifying.

Zhu Zhijie hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover the half of her sister's face and complained: "She is five years younger than you, and she has never suffered before...... If you don't comfort her, forget it, why bother to scare her. ”

"Small? What about small? If I don't wake her up today, will I also watch him die one day, and Huangquan will float on this Santu River like me! ”

Zhu Zhitong was wondering what the meaning of these three ways on the river, but as soon as the eldest sister's voice fell, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, the bright sun and sunny day turned into a dark night in an instant, and the gloomy cold wind blew Zhu Zhitong's hair upside down.

When looking into the distance again, the palace walls and pavilions of the majestic Laiyi Palace in the Yongjin Gate have all turned into barren mountains and mountains full of corpses and bones, and there are patches of blood-red Manzhu Sawa blooming between the mountains, paving a large road that extends directly to the river bank. If you look closely, the countless filamentous stamens are like long tongues that hook the soul, licking and licking every trace of soul attached to the bones under the flowers.

Zhu Zhitong looked underneath her, the spacious and comfortable Mulian had become a narrow canoe, and a dim oil lamp was hung on the bow of the boat, faintly reflecting a bottomless river. Zhu Zhiling turned around and flicked the oil lamp, and the light was bright for a while, and it was clearly visible from far and near.

"If you hesitate, you will only end up in the abyss of hell! Look...... Look at this river! How many wandering ghosts, who can neither cross the river nor return to the shore, just because they can't forget the entanglement of their previous lives and can't get liberation, they are trapped here forever! ”

Zhu Zhitong was frightened by the scene in front of her, and there were bursts of wails in the mourning mixed with the wind. She followed the prestige, and suddenly found that there were human heads surging everywhere in the river. Those people were flailing and struggling with their hands, but they didn't know the direction at all, as if they couldn't see or hear, but they all cried and cried endlessly.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a similar face.

An old woman wearing a four-grade finch feather black veil pulled her white hair in pain, and kept chanting: "The house in the northwest grid? Gold on Nanhua Island? Which one do I want? Which do I want? Is there only one to choose? Say I'm greedy...... There are many people who are more greedy than me, why me! I've worked hard all my life, and in the end I didn't get anything, so why did I end up like this! Hum...... The Hanlin Academy has compiled a history and will be remembered for centuries? Is that for me, or for Emperor Ming?! The old woman suddenly covered her heart and shouted, "It hurts...... It hurts me to death! ”

Zhu Zhitong was shocked when she saw it, and found that not far from the old woman, there was a very young man, holding on to the dust with one hand, and desperately grabbing the air with the other, shouting, "Master...... Master...... I have done everything you have commanded, and I have written down every word I heard and told you word for word, so please don't leave you behind. The apprentice knows that you are the only one in this world who is good to me, and the apprentice will definitely honor you when he is developed in the future, and treat you like a father to serve you until you are old. The vain speaks the truth, please,

Don't bury me alive, don't ......". I saw that the whisk seemed to be a commonly used object for eunuchs in the palace, and it had been dissolved by the river to the point that there were not a few whisks left, and the index finger of the right hand stretched out in the air was only a piece of white bone, and the skin and flesh seemed to have been pecked by something.

Zhu Zhitong couldn't remember when she had seen this little eunuch, and she felt that this eunuch didn't seem to be used to seeing in the Taiye City Palace.

At this time, there was also a woman in the river on the other side of the boat, who was different from the other people with a haggard face, and was born as bright as a peach and plum, and her skin was like clotted fat, and she was extremely beautiful. When the woman's body rose and fell in the waves, her throat was faintly exposed, and there was a bright red blood mark. She neither cried nor cried for help, but looked around anxiously.

"Kid...... Kids, where have you been? Why can't my mother see you? My mother promised that when this battle is over, my mother will take you away and fly away, find a small neighboring state, and live a carefree life. My mother has returned, but where have you all gone? Mother also brought a piece of jade unicorn for you......" The woman said and began to rummage through her body again, but she couldn't find it, so she shouted anxiously: "Where did you go...... Why can't I find it? It's obviously in the sleeve......"

The woman looked for a while, and suddenly stood motionless, as if she heard someone talking to her, and then hurriedly argued: "Mother didn't lie to you, Mother really brought you that piece of jade back, and it was given to Mother by Emperor Ming himself!" Mother has deceived countless people in her life, but she has never deceived you. Come out quickly, don't hide and scare your mother anymore. Mother will take you out of here, leave the blue sea, mother will no longer have to deceive people, okay? ”

As he spoke, he swam towards the shore with all his might, but unexpectedly a wave came from his side, and when the wave flattened, the woman was no longer to be seen.

Zhu Zhitong didn't remember who this woman was at all, but saw the eldest sister Zhu Zhiling behind her looking at the waves and sighed, as if she knew the woman.

She was about to ask the eldest sister who this person was, when suddenly he stretched out a withered hand and firmly grabbed the side of the boat, and the other hand had grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go. I saw that the man was a middle-aged man, wearing a foreign official uniform, with a neatly buttoned collar, but his cheeks were so thin that he was not human. His eyes were gray, there were no eyes, and he couldn't stop pleading, "Please...... Be sure to find Hotaru and tell her that I was wrong...... I shouldn't have sent her to Autumn Moon City...... Dad was confused, thinking that he had been innocent all his life and that the world was upright, but he was wrong all his life, and he was ashamed of himself, so he committed suicide and apologized for his sin. Hotaru ...... You can't go wrong again! Either kill him...... Or leave him! He is the culprit of the troubled country...... He's the one he is! ”

Zhu Zhitong was so frightened that she screamed, only to feel that the green edge flashed in front of her, and Zhu Zhiling didn't know when she took out the imperial Shang Fang sword and slashed it at the withered hand. The man screamed and severed four fingers, and immediately left the edge of the boat and sank into the river.

"Sister, what kind of place is this, I'm scared to death, help me out!"

"What about getting you out? My sister can save you for a while, but she can't save you for a lifetime. If you don't wake up, this place will become your destination sooner or later! Do you still want to wander like these lonely ghosts? Do you really have to die to open your eyes? Zhu Zhiling was domineering, but she couldn't stop another bloody tear from her eyes.

Zhu Zhijie was soft on the side

Persuasion: "Sister...... The prosperous era has dispersed, the troubled times have come, and since the day the Cangwu mission crossed the Hanjiang River, you have no choice. To die is the end of eternity. Survival is the only way out...... No matter how much we love you and protect you, we can only end here, and the rest of the road is only up to you, do you remember? ”

Zhu Zhitong covered her face tightly with both hands, she was already trembling, she didn't dare to look at the scene in front of her, nor did she dare to think about what these people had experienced. She could only curl up in the corner, hoping to get through this moment quickly.

Slowly, the wailing in my ears gradually disappeared, and the surroundings fell silent again, only the words of my sister lingered.

Stay alive...... Stay alive...... is the only way out.

Under the fluorite wall, the bright and soft light casts on the courtyard, illuminating a peaceful place everywhere. A few koi fish are paddling and playing under the lotus leaves, the fragrance is still floating under the plum trees, and the pale yellow petals float quietly down the pond, lighting up a few silent ripples.

In the small pavilion sat a thin figure, as if asleep, and from time to time there were a few low dreams.

After a while, the man slowly looked up, and she sat there with tears wiped away, as if determined.

She turned and walked towards the courtyard gate, pulling the rope of the bell next to the door.

After a while, the courtyard door creaked open, and an old man came in, who was gentle.

"Your Highness, I don't know what to order."

"I'm a little hungry, go get some food." The voice was surprisingly calm, without a hint of cowardice.

Gentle was a little surprised, but not too surprised. People are all acquaintances, and the current situation is like this, what can we do without compromise? It's just that I changed my attitude so quickly, and I was a little earlier than I thought.

"Okay, the old man will let people send it for His Highness, I don't know what else is needed for the rest?"

"Send some more...... Rouge gouache and hairpins come up. ”

"Okay, rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely choose some good ones and send them over."

Wen Wen turned around and wanted to leave the courtyard, but was suddenly called again.

"Smell the old man."

"Yes."

"I remember, the Pisces gold silk crown on my sister's top seems to be from you."

"Your Highness has a good memory, and it is the clumsy work of old decay."

"My sister cherishes that golden crown very much, even so, I want to ask my uncle to make a golden crown for me, as for the style, ......" said, Zhu Zhitong turned around and glanced at gentleness, "What the golden crown of the Bihai Zhu family should look like, you should understand it in your heart." ”

Just this glance, Wen Wen suddenly felt a tremor in his heart that he had never felt before. It seems to want to see through everything in his heart, and it seems to be a huge black hole that wants to suck his whole person in.

For a moment, Gentle almost felt like she was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

This is a deterrent that rivals the king, and it is also a woman's unique insight, and it is even more condescending and arrogant.

It took a while for Mild to come back to his senses, bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Obey the orders of His Highness." ”

This is exactly what it is:

Don't be difficult to see, it's hard to get proof.

It should be difficult to live and it is difficult to go, and it is difficult to pay at this time.
