Chapter 67: Entering the Palace 2
At this time, they were still talking about a certain princess, Wei Xueying sat down, kept smiling, and listened to the tea.
They gossip about Princess Qi, it turned out that she was snubbed by King Qi since the end of the emperor's birthday banquet, and returned to the palace, but she didn't expect that she was lonely and unbearable, cheating with the people in the house, and was caught and raped in bed by the prince, although she said that she was wronged, but the prince was already disheartened and had swept her out.
Soon, another woman will take over the position of Princess Qi.
In this regard, Wei Xueying was deeply gloating, that woman who was neither light nor heavy, even if she ended up like this, it would not be surprising.
Thinking about the last time she played tricks on Princess Qi on the painting boat, Wei Xueying smiled heartily.
*
After chatting for a while, the heat finally subsided.
The queen suddenly remembered something, and said to Wei Xueying: "Xueying, during the emperor's birthday banquet last time, you performed an eighteen kinds of martial arts, this show is really well-intentioned, and it is a seamless match with King Ling, and the palace really wants to see that show again." ”
"Aunt Queen, if you have a gap in the future, Xue Ying will definitely perform for the big guys."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, everyone is free at this time, Sister Xueying might as well perform a show or two for everyone to see." Zi Xi'er proposed.
She had an inexplicable smile on her face, as if she was looking forward to it.
Wei Xueying doesn't like this kind of swagger, but these are also sisters, especially the sick aunt with an expectant face, and the younger sisters looking at Wei Xueying with admiration, she can't shirk it.
Since the night she was destroyed, she always carried the golden crow long whip that originally belonged to Fengcheng, Wei Xueying didn't want to show people the subtlety of the hundred refining steel rope around her waist, so she pulled out the golden crow long whip from her sleeve.
She simply performed the skill of fetching objects with a long whip in this bedroom, which was meaningful.
After the performance, the three younger sisters immediately began to applaud, saying that they didn't expect Sister Xue Ying to have such skills.
The queen was also satisfied, perhaps because the atmosphere was much more active, and the queen's face was much better.
*
Listening to the sisters gossip in the queen's bedroom, time passed quickly.
After enriching the encyclopedia of life knowledge all at once, it was time for dinner.
The queen entertained the five sisters to dinner in the palace, and then let the palace maid lead them to the place where they lived.
This time, the courtyard that Wei Xueying and the others went to was not the courtyard with nightshade in the past, but a larger courtyard, in this palace, there are many courtyards like this, which were originally inhabited by those noble and beautiful people, and the current emperor is not a promiscuous person, so there are many courtyards vacated in the harem.
The courtyard where they want to live tonight is quite large, and the five sisters each have a room, and they did not bring maids when they entered the palace, and were served by three palace maids, Wei Xueying brought Yu Fengcheng to come, so a room was temporarily vacated for Yu Fengcheng to live.
After the girls finished washing, they ate melon seeds and waited for sleep.
Wei Xueying has the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, after listening to the gossip for a day, she has no interest in listening to the scandals of the famous ladies of the dynasty, so she quit early and returned to the room, lying down with nothing to do, it is better to go to bed early.
So, Wei Xueying fell asleep and slept quite soundly.
*
Wei Xueying slept very comfortably, and suddenly a terrible scream sounded, it seemed to be outside the door, Wei Xueying reflexively, a carp jumped up, touched the hundred refining steel cable under the pillow, and rushed out of the house.
As soon as I went out, I saw a palace maid lying in front of the door, and I almost tripped her.
Wei Xueying squatted down, the sky was extremely dark tonight, and through the dim lantern under the eaves, she looked at the palace maid.
Fortunately, she just fainted, and there was no injury.
Just as she was wondering how the palace maid could faint here, a white figure passed through the front courtyard and disappeared into the corridor on the right.
Wei Xueying immediately put down the palace maid, got up and chased after her, she came to the door of a room, looked around, the direction was correct, but no one was here.
only heard a scream in the room, Wei Xueying could hear it, it was Zi Xi'er's voice.
She kicked the door open and rushed in, only to see a flickering candle on the table, and there was no trace of Zi Xi'er on all sides.
She came to the bed, and the quilt was lifted, and when she touched it, there was still body temperature.
Of course, Wei Xueying would never think that this was haunted, she looked around vigilantly, and her keen sense of hearing told her that someone was coming eagerly.
Soon, the man walked in, it was Yu Fengcheng.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" He asked.
"I didn't have much, but Zi Xi'er is gone." Wei Xueying frowned.
"Gone? How could it not be seen? I heard her scream. ”
Wei Xueying went to open the originally closed window, and said, "I also heard this scream and followed, and she won't have any enemies in this palace to deal with her." ”
As they spoke, the two of them heard a scream at the same time.
It's just that the scream is not like on the ground, but underground.
Wei Xueying hurriedly squatted down and listened to the screams under the floor under her feet.
"It seems that there is a secret way." Yu Fengcheng concluded,
Wei Xueying was very strange: "This is strange, there will also be secret passages in the palace?" ”
"In the past, in order to prevent palace changes, the palace would design some secret passages in case of emergency. It seems that someone kidnapped Zi Xi'er. Yu Fengcheng said.
Wei Xueying reached out and groped near the floor under her feet.
Seeing this, Yu Fengcheng asked, "Princess, what are you going to do?" ”
"People are inexplicably gone, so naturally they want to save people." Wei Xueying replied.
When Yu Fengcheng heard this, he immediately said: "No, princess, it is better to notify the guards in the palace." ”
Wei Xueying shook her head: "Listen, Zi Xi'er screamed so miserably, when the guards in the palace came, I'm afraid everyone would die!" ”
She was a little anxious, no matter what, Zi Xi'er was also the daughter of her sister-in-law.
She moved quickly to touch everything that looked like a mechanism, and finally, she picked up a flower pot against the corner of the wall, and heard a thud beneath her feet, and a crack in the ground.
"It's a secret passage! This must be the entrance! Wei Xueying said happily.
She got up and walked towards the secret passage, Yu Fengcheng hurriedly pulled her and said, "You can't go!" ”
His voice was eager, even ordering Wei Xueying.
Wei Xueying shook him off, Yu Fengcheng actually shot at Wei Xueying in order to stop her, Wei Xueying was not going to obediently wait to be beaten passively, and the two of them passed by one move.
After a few moves, Yu Fengcheng was defeated by Wei Xueying, so he had to stop and said: "The prince told Fengcheng to follow the princess, if the princess insists on going, then Fengcheng must follow." ”
Wei Xueying glanced at him and walked straight down.
Yu Fengcheng followed behind.
When they were halfway down, there was a thud behind them, and the floor closed.
There was no time to run out, and there was no way back for them.
Wei Xueying stood in the darkness, she was thinking about what to do, Yu Fengcheng had already taken out a fire fold and illuminated the secret passage.
The light of the fire fold is limited, but it can still illuminate this secret passage.
"What's next? Do you go down, or do you want to go back? Yu Fengcheng asked.
Perhaps because the space was too small, Wei Xueying always felt that Yu Fengcheng's voice was different from usual.
"It's all coming, of course, going on." Wei Xueying said.
The two of them relied on this fire fold all the way down, this secret passage is very long, it can even be said to be very complicated, twists and turns, because in the secret passage so around, it is not like you can find landmarks on the ground as a reference, so they have been around for a while, and they can't tell the direction.
There was another scream, and they quickened their pace.
