Chapter Fifty-Three: Surrender and Abandonment of the Palace in the Dead of Night
Han Ying felt that this journey was very difficult, saying that she was supporting the Nine Emperor Princes, but it was better to say that she was relying on the Nine Emperor Princes' bodies to give herself strength. The scene just now was too bloody, lingering in Han Ying's mind for a long time, like a nightmare. Back in Ciyang Palace, Yi Chen had long since disappeared, Han Ying still hadn't come out of the bloody picture, Liang Yuanhe knew her state, so he said:
"What's the use of you being scared like this? It has nothing to do with you. β
Han Ying tried her best to calm her mood and poured a glass of water for Liang Yuanhe, but her hand was still a little trembling, and she handed it over, Liang Yuanhe took it smoothly, Han Ying finally couldn't control it, and said in a sad voice:
"Your Highness, that woman is so pitiful, there is no one at all who is tortured."
Liang Yuanhe drank the water slowly and said slowly:
"When she was staying with the third prince, she should have thought of such consequences."
When Han Ying heard this, her heart was even more sad, she knew that this was the case, but when it really happened, it was really difficult to accept. She lowered her head, and saw that there was some dirt on the hem of the Nine Emperors' clothes, so she half-knelt down and said:
"Your Highness, your clothes are a little dirty, the slave maid will clean them up for you."
Han Ying took out a handkerchief and wiped it on the hem of the Nine Emperors' clothes, but after the fright, her body was a little weak, and her knees were a little unstable. Suddenly, Liang Yuanhe grabbed her wrist and placed it on her knee, Han Ying was startled, and then her heart was slowly moved. The Nine Emperor Princes knew their current state, and they also knew that they were looking for something to calm down, and they knew that they didn't have much strength, so that a hand on the Nine Emperors' knees suddenly made Han Ying a lot more stable, as if he had found a support. Han Ying slowly spoke:
"Your Highness, you said, is she going to be abolished in this life?"
Liang Yuanhe put down the cup, looked ahead, as if he could see, and said:
"Of course, the body and mind are wasted."
When Han Ying heard this, tears couldn't help but flow out, and she heard the Nine Emperor Princes say:
"Actually, the most hateful thing is not the people of Female Officer Su, but the man who didn't protect her."
Liang Yuanhe naturally knew about Lady Su, and he heard it at once. Hearing his words, Han Ying raised her head, looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, and asked puzzledly:
"You mean, Third Prince?"
Liang Yuanhe nodded and said:
"He doesn't really love that woman yet, otherwise, as a man, how can he let the woman he loves a little wronged?"
Han Ying was even more shocked, what the Nine Princes said was right, from beginning to end, the Three Princes did not appear, such a big movement, it was impossible for him not to know, and he also acquiesced. Yes, if he doesn't love her, how can he stand up for her? Han Ying thought of Chu Feiyan:
"Your Royal Highness, you say, will there be a real love between this prince and the palace maid?"
Liang Yuanhe tilted his head slightly and asked:
"How do you ask this?"
"I am not satisfied with you, the sister of the slave maid, Chu Feiyan, she is now friendly with the Eighth Prince, slave maid, today's gaffe is also worried that she will suffer a bad situation in the future."
Liang Yuanhe took a sip of water, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, blinked slowly, and said:
"That's their business, pay the wrong person, it's her vision problem, if you feel that you can't, you can close it in advance, so as to save regret it later."
"However, the slaves don't know how far their feelings can go, it seems that the royal family really doesn't necessarily have true feelings......
Han Ying thought of the Five Princes again, he hadn't seen him for a long time, once, he thought that the Five Princes looked at him a little differently, but since Li Tingzong's incident, Han Ying had a feeling of being used and abandoned. Or is she too naΓ―ve, she even thought of the prince, hehe, inexplicably to such an ambiguous and impossible thing about herself, why bother herself? Han Ying's heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Your Highness, you say, what will happen to that woman in the future?"
Han Ying finished tidying up the hem of her clothes and gently beat Liang Yuanhe's legs, she walked a lot today, she was afraid that her master would be tired. Liang Yuanhe said:
"Abandon the palace."
"What?"
Han Ying hadn't heard of this palace, so she didn't understand.
"All abandoned palace people, or concubines, will be sent to the abandoned palace and left to fend for themselves."
"Huh?"
Han Ying was surprised, everyone was already crippled, so why torture them?
"Your Highness, then, the slave maid, can you go and see her, the slave maid has some medicine here, I want to give it to her, the slave and maid really can't bear it, let her endure more inhuman torture."
Han Ying is sincere, because that woman is really pitiful, and no one will be able to help her, even if she lives or dies.
"Hongu will go with you."
To Han Ying's surprise, the Nine Emperor Princes actually said that they would go with him, how could Han Ying drag him down, and hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, the slave can go by herself. That kind of place must be filthy, and you must not be tainted with that bad smell. β
Liang Yuanhe had already stood up and said:
"You can't find it yourself."
Han Ying knew what the Nine Emperor Princes had decided, and no one could stop it, so she could only thank her, and when it was dark, the two of them went to the Abandonment Palace together.
After walking a long way, I finally arrived at the dilapidated abandoned palace. Along the way, the more you get here, the fewer people in the palace there are, until there are no more. The people in this are all dying, life and death are in the sky, of course, few people can survive the past. Only once a day to come to the watch, some of them are dead, there will be a fixed period of time for someone to collect the body. Usually, they are all sad and mournful, and everyone feels bad and does not come here.
Han Ying walked in front first, the palace gate was dusty, and cobwebs were all over every corner. After that, near the doorknob, it is a little cleaner, and you can see that when people come, they only touch this one place. Han Ying lit a lantern, looked up and down, left and right, and then, gently pushed the door open, the door made a "squeak" sound, and then what came into view was pitch black and eerie. Han Ying was a little scared, she opened the door a little wider, and turned around to help the Nine Emperor Princes. If the Nine Emperor Princes don't come today, they really don't dare to come in! Han Ying relied on her courage, the lantern was extremely weak in such a dark space.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Han Ying was affected by this strange atmosphere and didn't dare to speak loudly, but Liang Yuanhe was very calm, not a little scared at all, Han Ying unconsciously approached him, feeling that the person around her was the only one who could bring her a sense of security at this time.
The yard is also in tatters, how can anyone clean this kind of place. Moreover, there was a disgusting stench, Han Ying seemed to be unable to breathe, Han Ying asked carefully:
"Your Highness, what does this smell like? It smells so bad,"
"The smell of corpses."
Liang Yuanhe's three words in a nutshell made Han Ying feel creepy:
"Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"
Corpse stench? Does it mean that there are corpses here? Oh, my God! Will you be careless, step on something? Han Ying was even more cautious, she didn't expect this place to be so terrifying!
"Ahh
What are you afraid of, Han Ying's feet, I don't know what I stepped on, soft, coupled with the words of the Nine Emperor Princes just now, suddenly made Han Ying's cold hair stand on end, and she screamed, and the lantern was thrown to the ground in fright. At the moment when the lantern landed, Liang Yuanhe hooked his foot, and then the lantern was grabbed by him.
"Your Highness......"
Han Ying was so frightened that she burst into tears, what is the difference between this place and a mass grave? She clutched Liang Yuanhe's clothes tightly, not daring to take a step forward, for fear of stepping on something again.
"You follow me."
Liang Yuanhe's voice, in such a terrifying environment, was particularly reassuring, and Han Ying hurriedly nodded:
"Hmm."
Unexpectedly, Han Ying himself was not as good as a blind person, Liang Yuanhe walked smoothly and did not touch a single obstacle, Han Ying followed beside him, not leaving an inch.
She ...... Where is she? β
Han Ying's toes are numb, is it so hard to find someone?
"Ah......h
Suddenly, a scalp-numbing voice sounded faintly not far away, in such a place where the moon was dark and the wind was high and corpses were all over the place, Han Ying listened to it, her heart was about to jump out, and her entire back to the back of her neck was cold! She hugged the arm of the Nine Emperor Princes tightly, and said with a trembling mouth:
"Your Highness...... Is that...... What was that...... Shade? β
Liang Yuanhe heard it, it was not a ghost, it must be the woman during the day.
"Follow me."
Han Ying followed the Nine Emperor Princes and slowly moved to the place where the voice sounded, and the closer it gets, the more obvious the movement of that ** becomes.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Just when Han Ying was at a loss, Liang Yuanhe lifted the lantern and shone it accurately on the man's face, Han Ying looked over in horror and vaguely recognized that it was really the woman who was tortured during the day.
"Your Highness, yes...... It's her ......."
Seeing people, Han Ying's courage was only a little bigger, but she still didn't dare to go over.
The woman felt that someone was coming, and she struggled to open her bloody eyes, and the ** emitted from her mouth was no longer beyond her control, only to see that in the faint light, someone was squatting down, and he was looking at herself. When she got closer to the lantern, she saw that it was a handsome man.
Liang Yuanhe squatted down, reached out and touched the woman's wrist, probing her faint pulse. The warm and soft fingers, the moment they touched the woman, made her feel a tenderness that she hadn't felt for a long time. Seeing that the Nine Emperor Princes were so disdisgusted and bowed down, Han Ying hurriedly squatted down, took the lantern, and watched the Nine Emperor Princes diagnose her pulse. It turned out that the Nine Emperor Princes still knew this. Han Ying looked at the woman's face, the looming tears and messy hair made her feel distressed. And he opened his mouth, saying,
"You hold on."
The woman couldn't speak, her throat gurgled in her throat, and she didn't know what the movement was, and she felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
