Chapter 200
Seeing that the emperor was gone, Aunt Yu came in, only to see that the Empress Dowager Ming was closing her eyes and recuperating.
She didn't dare to disturb, and was about to accept the used teacup on the table, only to hear the Empress Dowager Ming sigh, "What do you say the emperor will do?" ”
Aunt Yu smiled bitterly, "Queen Mother, the slave maid does not dare to speculate on the holy will, nor does she dare to deceive the Queen Mother, I think it is the emperor who got the news and intends to let Qingqin's mother and daughter go, and Princess Bilan is the same."
The Empress Dowager Ming gently twisted the Buddha beads, slowly opened her phoenix eyes, and her tone was a little more faintly desolate, "The emperor's mind is really getting more and more incomprehensible." ”
Aunt Yu persuaded, "Although that Qingqin finally revealed her true nature, it is better than her wearing a disguise every day, and now her mother and daughter have been out of power for a long time, it is really not a threat, the Queen Mother does not have to take them to heart, and I heard Princess Bilan say that the Qingqin is also running out, and let them-"
Empress Dowager Ming glanced at Aunt Yu, and the corners of her lips sneered slightly, "Even you think so?" ”
Aunt Yu was stunned, "What?" Does the Queen Mother think there is something wrong? ”
"So you really don't know much about that Qingqin mourner, this matter is definitely not that simple." Empress Dowager Ming snorted in her nose, Xu had been sitting for a long time, she got up, got off the couch, and came to the courtyard with Aunt Yu's hand.
A few magnolia flowers in the yard are in full bloom, staring at the snow-white tree, the Empress Dowager Ming said meaningfully, "Woman, you should also be as clear and jade as this magnolia."
Aunt Yu didn't know why, she just felt that the words of the Empress Dowager Ming were becoming more and more incomprehensible, but there was a faint meaning in and out of the words
-- Meishuang galloped all the way under the woman's leadership, but she didn't expect that the foot of the mountain would be so twisting and turning. The woman, who had lived here for many years, actually followed Meishuang's prompt to a place at the foot of the mountain.
Meishuang recovered from a serious illness, and her body was weak, so she was only panting with sweat when she finally came here.
Looking around, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are many trees, different heights, and they grow in a disorderly manner, and in this season, it is not verdant, but only half a bald mountain.
The two of them stood at the bottom of the mountain, looking up at the sky, and suddenly realized the insignificance of people.
The woman looked around, looked puzzled, and asked Meishuang, "The place you said is probably here, you see, it is deserted, how can Zhengyi come here to play?" ”
Along the way, Meishuang pondered how to get out of seven or eight miles, and the road was difficult, and it was too bold for a child to come. Although she thought it was incredible, thinking about the mysterious expression of the child and what he said, Meishuang still chose to believe it.
"Tong Yan Wuji, I believe in Zhengyi's words, I think we should look around, is there any cave or something, children love to drill caves."
The woman was helpless, and now that the child could not be found, she could only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and followed Meishuang's words and began to slowly search for the stones at the foot of the mountain.
Meishuang paid special attention to the grass lying on the ground, not to mention, it really made her find a few small footprints on the grass, and in the excitement of the moment, she hurriedly called the woman.
The woman looked at it carefully and said excitedly, "That's right, it's Zhengyi's shoe print." ”
"And that, look." Mei Shuang pointed to a thin strand of gray cloth hanging on the nearby thistle, and ran over to take a look, the woman became more and more excited, "This is the tie on the corner of the pants I was wearing yesterday, God, he really came here"
Then he anxiously let go of his throat and began to shout, "Zhengyi, justice, where are you?" Don't play hide and seek with your mother, come out?! ”
Meishuang also called out Shoichi's name, but there was no movement at all except for the deep echo in the mountains.
The two men walked in the direction of the footprints for a while, and finally found a few more clear footprints, and not far in front of the footprints was a huge rock.
The footprints were lost at the rock, and Meishuang was the first to climb the rock and discover the mystery inside. Behind the rock is a cave more than a man high.
The two of them walked for a long time, sweating profusely, standing at the entrance of the cave at the moment, cold and comfortable.
"What do you mean, you're in this cave?" The woman panicked.
Mei Shuang looked carefully at the inside of the cave, the entrance of the cave seemed to be very deep, and the sight could only go not far ahead, and on the four walls of the cave entrance, the knife and axe were sharpened, the edges and corners were distinct, and there was no grass. But from experience, she can be sure that this is not a naturally formed cave.
In that case, Shoichi wouldn't have discovered what was inside and would have come here to play with curiosity.
"Sister, you know what? There were a lot of beads in there that I hadn't seen before, and it was fun, but I was still scared, could you come with me? ”
Meishuang groaned, "If I'm not mistaken, Zhengyi should have gone in, but I'm afraid it's in danger." We don't have anything now, and even if it's dangerous to go in, I'm afraid we won't be able to save the child. ”
"What then?" Zhengyi's mother was about to cry, and she found a fire fold on her body, "I only have this, but I can come to illuminate it." ”
Meishuang nodded, and said that a child has come and gone safely a few times, and there is no big danger in thinking about it, not to mention the two of them.
"By the way, do you still have that?" Meishuang asked the woman who was at the entrance of the cave looking flustered, "That drug, if there is any danger, we can-"
The woman lowered her eyes and thought, "A little more." ”
"How about a point for me?" Meishuang said.
The woman only said that Mei Shuang had learned the lesson of the last time, and she was afraid that if she found Zhengyi, she would secretly hack her, so she slowly took out a small bottle from her cuff and handed it to Mei Shuang, "That's all, I never use it." ”
Meishuang opened the vial and looked at it, and sure enough, there was some white powder in it.
She put it on her body with confidence, which was better than nothing, especially in an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous environment, a little more self-defense was more courageous, and, to be honest, she didn't believe the woman in front of her.
Especially since she was unconsciously poisoned by that abbot last time, she was suspicious of anyone she came into contact with. Not to blame her for thinking too much, her sixth sense told her, and at some point the woman's words flickered, and seemed to be a little evasive.
Isn't this child her own?
Mei Shuang only looked down and thought about things, but she didn't notice a trace of imperceptible complexity flashing in the woman's eyes the moment she lowered her head.
The woman started to walk towards the cave, not forgetting that each of them had a stick in his hand as a weapon.
Looking at the inside of the cave from the outside, it seems that it is not short, but it does not seem to be long to actually walk in, and what is even more amazing is that the more you walk inside, the wider and higher the height of the head, it is like entering from the mouth of the bottle, and now you have reached the bottleneck and began to walk towards the belly of the bottle.
However, the more you go inside, the darker your vision becomes, and the light of the fire fold is blown from time to time by the wind to sway from side to side, and the scope of lighting is really limited, only the cool breeze in the cave blows by from time to time, and occasionally there will be a "whoosh" sound in the ears that I don't know if it is an auditory hallucination.
The two of them walked cautiously into it for a while, only to feel that the further they went, the cooler it became. It's hot weather outside, it's only a short distance here, but there is a kind of meaning of ice and fire, and the clothes on her body are not enough to keep out the cold, which makes Meishuang shiver.
The darkness of the large mass in front of people makes it difficult to distinguish the direction, occasionally holding up the fire fold, the light of the fire fold seems to be as big as a bean in the darkness of the large ball, even if it is daytime outside, but here you can not see the five fingers.
After walking for a while, everywhere the light went, there were strange rocks overhead, and the surroundings became more and more open.
Mei Shuang stopped and couldn't help but say to herself, "How dare such a young child come here to play?" ”
I only heard Zhengyi's mother call anxiously, "Zhengyi, Zhengyi, are you in there?" ”
Disappointingly, the cave was empty, with only echoes and no movement.
Shoichi's mother was a little anxious, "Are you sure Shoichi got into here?" ”
Meishuang was speechless, "Didn't you say that those footprints of Fang Cai were Zhengyi?" Moreover, the footprints were not visible in the rocks, and if he hadn't entered here, he would have entered somewhere? ”
In fact, Mei Shuang also began to play drums in her heart, how could such a young child go into such a dark place to play alone? What's more, where are the beads he is talking about?
The woman said no more, blew the fire fold in her hand a little brighter, and raised it a little higher, and this time her vision was much clearer.
Not to mention, just as the flames fell downwind, Meishuang saw that the stone wall on one side seemed to be glowing, and a faint halo was suspended in the air.
She hurriedly touched the woman beside her, who looked up and saw the strangeness of the place with her extraordinary eyesight.
Meishuang's face was happy, "That's right, Zhengyi said that there are pearls and jades here, and it must be the light emitted by those things." Let's go over and find him. ”
She thought maybe it was an underground tomb or something, and she was a little frightened, but it seemed that things were much simpler.
As she spoke, she was about to pull her foot, when the woman's eyes flashed slightly, she subconsciously reached out to block her.
"What's wrong?" Meishuang looked at the woman strangely.
The woman looked sideways at Mei Shuang, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and her expression was a little complicated, "Are you sure that Zhengyi is talking about this?" ”
Meishuang was even more surprised, "Why did I bring you here if he didn't say it?" Even though it's only a little kid of five or six years old, I believe him. He didn't come back all night last night, maybe he was here to be playful. Okay, don't worry, since it's all here, we might as well look for it, so little children are in this dark place, don't be afraid. ”
"Five, six?" The woman's eyes flashed, and she said softly, lowering her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Meishuang said, "Am I wrong, he is not so big or is he still too big?" Alas, I said, it's all here, why aren't you in a hurry, what are you really doing at this time when you're still a year and a half old? Hurry up and take a look. ”
She stretched out her hand to take the fire fold and suddenly felt that this woman was a little abnormal, she was in a hurry outside just now, and she couldn't wait for the seven souls to go to the six and a half souls, but she hesitated when she got here.
However, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Meishuang's mind, and she had a sudden break in her heart.
