Chapter 162: Fighting in the Night: Goodbye Ruji
The crowd of onlookers dispersed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I contacted Tenka, "Someone stabbed you, do you want to help?" ”
"The real Ruhime didn't show up. Don't act rashly. ”
In the blink of an eye, several men in black had fallen under the female warrior's sword. At this time, the guards near the palace rushed forward to cover Ruji's return to the palace. Seeing that the assassination was hopeless, the remaining Assassins fled.
I looked at the delicate figure of the female samurai and reported the battle to Tenka.
"I know who they are!" Tianxiang said, "There is only one person who can impersonate Ru Ji's body, and there is no female AI Supreme Sword Saint by Ru Ji's side. That female samurai is Ruhime. ”
At this time, there was a word from the palace that the celebration ended early due to the assassination incident. In the afternoon, the Empress will receive the envoy alone in the palace.
I took a walk around the city of Meso. The market doesn't seem to be booming as it was when I was there. I walked into a specialty shop in Yushan. I saw that the courtyard was cold, and half of the shelves were empty. The shopkeeper explained that because the mountain is now in the hands of the enemy, the traffic is blocked. The existing commodities were all sold from Saigo, so the prices were inflated.
In the afternoon, I met Ruji as promised. This time it's really like Ji. It's still the same outfit you wore for the celebration, but the shape feels noticeably different. Beneath her royal robe was a pair of Juggernaut armor. With my current combat power and weapons, it may not be easy to break through this layer of armor alone.
I asked my men to present gifts from Dongning. Ruhime also gives back. But she was clearly not interested in any of this, and had been watching me. My mind was thinking about what kind of opportunity I could find to get closer to her.
At this time, the maid came to report, "Princess Xixiang is waiting for her mother in Zhiyang Palace." "Allure is still here. Ruji's face changed when she heard this.
I got up and took my leave. After my men left the palace, I turned around, "Queen Mother," I said, "it's not you who is celebrating the ceremony, it's the princess of Allure, right?" ”
Ruji was stunned, "What did you say?" She grabbed my hand, "Then you follow me to see the princess of Allure and see if it's true?" ”
I shook off her hand, "Saigo and I Dongning have always been on bad terms. I can't go to see Princess Allure without Princess Tianxiang's permission. ”
"That's good! You wait here. Don't leave! ”
This so-called Zhiyang Hall is actually next to it. I hid behind the curtain and watched Ru Ji enter the hall and bow down to the figure behind the curtain, "Ru Ji meets the princess." ”
Then a familiar voice came from the other side, "Ruji, what have you done in the past two years?" Why are so many people trying to kill you. I even accepted your suggestion to pretend to be you to accept the pilgrimage, and let me take the arrow for you. ”
"It is Ruji's sin to frighten the princess. Please, princess, punish. ”
"Humph! Sooner or later, I'll abolish you puppet. Hello do it yourself! ”
Allure led people away, and Ruji slowly returned to the hall with a lonely expression. I stepped forward. She looked into my face, "Who are you?" ”
"Below is the messenger of Dongning, Xinyuan."
"Why is it so much like him?"
"Like whom?" I asked.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." She grabbed me by the shoulder, "You're finally back, aren't you?" Your Majesty. ”
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Didn't His Majesty the Emperor live in the palace? ”
"His Majesty left two years ago, and now the palace is just his shadow." She let go of me, "You really look like Your Majesty. ”
"I've seen a portrait of His Majesty the Emperor, and it doesn't look very much like me!"
"It's been two years, and I've been waiting for him to come back every moment."
"Niangniang, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, His Majesty the Emperor is afraid that he will not come back!"
"Why?"
"Two years ago, he was accused of stealing 40 million gold coins here. All this is enough for him to sit in prison for more than ten years in the ontological world outside. ”
Ruji looked at me, silent. I asked, "The queen is the mother of the world, and my princess respects you very much." Allure is just the master of one side, how to call and drink to the mother? What will be the face of His Majesty? ”
Ru Ji smiled, "Your Majesty and I are just pawns on someone else's chessboard, talk about face?" ”
"Your name is Xinyuan, isn't it?" She asked.
"Niangniang can call me heart." I replied.
"Alright! Xin'er, are you going back to Dongning soon? ”
"After Jin meets Niangniang, I still have to buy some items for the princess, and I also want to visit Mae So."
"So, Xin'er, would you like to come and see me more often?"
"Respect the mother's life!"
That night, I changed into my night suit and re-infiltrated the palace to determine my course of action against the map. Ruhime's dormitory is located on the east side of the palace, separated by two courtyards from the palace wall, and ten guards are stationed on the left and right sides, including two sword masters.
Princess Yuehua's crystal coffin should be on the west side of the palace, but I can't enter it. There should also be a place where Emperor Qiming was imprisoned, which should also be in the palace. But I didn't find it.
Back at the pavilion, I contacted Tianxiang, "Can you get me two things, an invisibility cloak and a universal key." This way I can open Kerr's coffin, take out the Qingfeng Sword, and then sneak into Ruji's bedroom to take her life. ”
She replied, "If there were these two things, the night battle would not be what it is now. "It seems that we have to think long-term.
The next day, I entered the palace again to meet Ruhime. I offered to visit the Royal Palace. Ruji gladly agreed. Passing by the courtyard where Kerr's coffin was hidden, I deliberately asked, "Niangniang, what is here?" ”
Ru Ji looked at the closed door and did not evade, "What is placed here is the crystal coffin of Princess Yuehua." ”
"Princess Yuehua is still not buried?"
"Buried?" Ruhime looked at me suspiciously. I just remembered that there is no such thing as burying the game in the world series, because it is not needed.
"Niangniang, I heard that Princess Yuehua was a peerless beauty second only to Niangniang back then, I don't know if I can be lucky enough to see her face."
Ru Ji smiled, "Second only to me? Xin'er, you're really good at talking. But in the eyes of His Majesty, a hundred of them are not as good as her. ”
She ordered the gate to be opened and motioned for her men to stay outside. I will also leave my retinue behind.
As I walked towards the main hall, I felt more and more heavy on my steps. In the middle of the main hall, there is a delicate crystal coffin. In the crystal coffin is none other than Kerr, my beloved Kerr. It's been two years and nothing has changed in her appearance. Her eyes were closed, her head tilted to one side, and her sable mattress covered her chin as if she were asleep. The Qingfeng sword was placed next to the crystal coffin.
I look at Ruhime next to me. "I've heard the legend outside about the relationship between Niangniang and Princess Yuehua."
"What do they say about me? Do you say I killed Princess Yuehua? You know, I've saved her life twice, and we've always been called sisters......" Ruji looked at Kerr in the crystal coffin, "and she has been torturing me all the time for the past two years. I really regret why I suggested that Her Majesty seal her body in the first place. ”
