Chapter 59
When Yijieyu realized that this might be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and hurriedly came back, only the stunned Meishuang was left in the room.
Most of Yi Jieyu's heart fell high, fortunately, it was not Miss Lin who was missing, if Miss Lin was missing, even if she had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut off. However, whether Mei Ru is dead or alive, she is the queen of a country after all, and she was actually picked up under everyone's noses.
Yi Jieyu quickly ran to the window, looked at the vast night and the bottomless cliff outside the window, couldn't help but shake her head, and carefully inspected the windowsill of the house, and then ordered someone to light the torch, inspect the terrain and find someone. The terrain of this place is precipitous, and it is incredible to go up and down alone, let alone carry a person on your back. Suddenly, Yi Jieyu's pupils shrank, didn't someone answer?
She turned around and asked Meishuang about the situation, and Meishuang only said that a man in black had come in, and she didn't know anything else.
Seeing Meishuang's frightened appearance, Yi Jieyu could only take her away, send her back to the palace to settle down, and then came to Xiao Luo dejectedly to hand over, "Your Majesty, the queen was picked up, but Miss Lin was unscathed, it's really incredible that someone broke through the window in such a short period of time, and the concubine suspected that this person had been lurking outside for a long time, and when she picked up the queen, someone must have answered." In this way, there must be something strange in this Jokhang Temple."
-- On the cliff face, a sturdy figure slowly moved against the wall, and from time to time he stopped to adjust his breathing with the help of trees and other shelters between the ravines. After all, it is extremely difficult to walk alone in such a steep terrain, let alone carrying a person on his back.
When he stopped, he looked at the movement above, and although the light of the torches lit up half of the sky, it was too easy to hide his movements from the crag-edged terrain, but he had to get out of here before dawn.
Mei Ru on her back still didn't move.
Her head hung limply over his shoulders, and the gentle strands of hair brushed his ears from time to time, tickling and stirring his heart slightly.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the slightest emotion hidden in a corner of his heart.
Soon you will be at the entrance that has already been surveyed, and you can get out of here by just going over the sharp rock tip.
After walking for so long, his body was not wearing out, and fine beads of sweat slowly oozed from his forehead, and there was only one last step left. He checked the rope on his back again, and was sure that he would have no problem climbing over the rocks, so he took a strong leap with all his strength.
Suddenly, there was a "be careful" in his ears, and then, with lightning speed, he turned to the right, and he was able to dodge the sharp arrows that came rapidly from above.
While holding his breath and quickly settling his body, he untied the ropes on his body, and then, when he landed, the two figures rolled into the cave on one side, and behind them were dense arrows like flying locusts.
"It's dangerous!" Mei Ru got up and slapped the dust on her body, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Yunkong, are you okay?" β
Yunkong stood in place, looked at her fixedly, and shook his head, "It's okay." β
Looking at each other, Mei Ru suddenly didn't dare to look at the eyes that were deeper than the night, and after looking away, she looked around with the faint moonlight outside the cave, the height of the cave was just enough for people to walk through, and it was not wide, only enough for two people to move forward.
"You woke up early?" Yunkong said.
Mei Ru stopped looking around, her eyes were slightly sluggish, and she said softly, "Yes, your medicine has always been very useful."
The clouds lowered their eyes. The feeling of the warm body clinging to his body is like being in front of him, even if he takes refuge in Buddhism, the four are empty, but that feeling is indelible, and all he can do is ignore it. Therefore, the blood on the corners of Mei Ru's delicate face and lips was still vivid, and he couldn't step forward to wipe it off for her.
Thinking of carrying her own sturdy body, she was relaxed and powerful between her movements, and between her breath and breath, the faint smell of Zen incense spread, which always made her feel peaceful. Lying on that broad back, she had wished that moment had lasted longer
In the narrow space, there was silence, the two people were no more than a few feet apart, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
Meiru, what are you thinking!
Suddenly, the stick drink in her mind made Mei Ru sober up instantly.
The clouds in front of her, staring at her eyes, in addition to the burning heat, there are many indescribable meanings, and the complex look makes Mei Ru's heart mixed.
But soon, her eyes were cold, and her voice was extremely cold when she spoke, "You shouldn't have come today"
Yunkong pursed the corners of his lips slightly, but did not make a sound.
Suddenly, Mei Ru took a few steps forward and approached the clouds, "You think I'll be grateful to you today?" Yunkong, if it weren't for you today, I wouldn't be here yet, right? β
Yunkong was still silent, Mei Ruru's gaze didn't let him go, she let out a sigh, "Yunkong, you and I have known each other for many years, and there is no one who knows me better than you." Even if you missed like that last time, I didn't blame you, but now, you disregard my life to save that slut, putting me in danger, Yunkong, do you want to take revenge on me by doing this? β
In the darkness, Yunkong's body shook slightly, and he tried his best to suppress the discomfort that was surging up in his chest, and said lightly, "Stop, you have fallen too deep into it, and you have been blinded by hatred." Tonight, I heard all the words, since she is no longer the same person, why do you want to kill them all? I have long advised you not to get involved in such a palace battle, but you never listened. You're right, even if you're the queen, you don't get what you want."
The last sentence made the angry Mei Ru's eyes flash, and her arrogance suddenly fell.
"Ru'er, you've changedβ" Before the words fell, Yun covered his chest with his empty hands and shook his body.
Mei Ru was puzzled but hurriedly raised her hand to support him, her right hand just covered Yunkong's body, only to hear him snort, Mei Ru suddenly found a white arrow trembling on Yunkong's back in the dark.
Suddenly, Mei Ru remembered that when Yunkong pushed her into the hole, he had pushed her hard, and it turned out that he had blocked the arrow for her.
"Cloud Sky!" Mei Ru was shocked, and then helped him up, "You hold on, I'll take you out immediately"
-- In the mountains in the middle of the night, the mountain wind hunts.
Meishuang stood in front of the window of the palace, looking out at the undulating valley and fascinated. Although the time has passed, she has no sleep, and the strangeness in the temple during the day and the conversation with Mei Ru at night make her heart fluctuate.
Faintly, she also felt, as if she had fallen into a huge whirlpool, and she, in it, seemed to be getting deeper and deeper
Especially the Buddha statue in the temple during the day with moving eyes and laughing, as well as the inexplicable note, seem to tell an unknown secret.
Mei Ru, she must know this secret.
She once said that it was no accident that she couldn't be a queen, and Nangong Nuo also said the same thing, and then remembered that Mei Ru said that she was suitable to be a queen and so on, now that she thinks about it, there are all mysteries. She is still involved in the Donglai State, so it seems that the emperor doubts himself and even suspects that the left minister is colluding with the Donglai State, isn't it groundless? No wonder the emperor must return to the palace by himself. Thinking about it like this, Mei Shuang's back suddenly felt cold, and a fine and dense cold instantly crawled all over her back.
It seems that today's qiΔ, I am afraid that the emperor has expected it a long time ago, and he is just waiting to invite you into the urn. And Mei Ru exposed herself prematurely. Presumably, the emperor asked her to pray for the queen mother today, but the real purpose is to use herself to lure the snake out of the hole and let the queen Meiru expose herself.
Suddenly, Meishuang was a little anxious, how many secrets are there? And what role did she play in it?
Now that Meru is dead, won't many secrets be buried in the ground?
Meishuang couldn't calm down anymore, she turned around and went out, and said to the guard at the door, "I want to see the emperor, can you pass it on to me?" β
Not far from the palace, Xiao Luo was standing in the night, heard the sound of the sassy skirt behind him, turned around, saw Mei Shuang, and said lightly, "Coming?" β
Mei Shuang saluted according to the rules and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if it bothered you, I have many questions in my heart, and I still implore the emperor for guidance." β
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and said in a gentle tone, "Do you have any questions?"
Mei Shuang opened her mouth, and suddenly she didn't know where to start, she was all speculating on her own, and what she was in front of her was not an ordinary person, she was the king of a country, holding the world in her hands.
After a while, his mind swirled, and finally he sighed, his voice bitter, "Your Majesty, how long do you want me to stay in the palace?" β
Xiao Luo was a little surprised, turned around, and looked at the plain-clothed woman outside Zhang Xu Kaiwai, her long hair was held by a wooden hairpin, flying in the night breeze, her porcelain white face was not covered with a trace of powder, and her delicate facial features, especially the black crystal-like eyes, were clear, with a slight confusion, like a layer of mist, which was very eye-catching in the moonlight.
"I want to ask you how well you read that Buddhist scripture."
"Buddhist scriptures?" Mei Shuang didn't react for a while, and after a while realized that she was asking about the Buddhist scriptures she read every day when she was in a corner of the palace, although she didn't understand why the emperor diverted the topic, but she still said honestly, "I've finished reading"
"Well," Xiao Luo nodded, "Has the Queen Mother heard you talk about this Buddhist scripture?" β
"Uh, no," Mei Shuangxin said, when did you let me go and talk to the Queen Mother?
"Then let's talk to the Queen Mother when I return to the palace," Xiao Luo said.
"Oh"
Meishuang was speechless, how did this come to the Buddhist scriptures? Suddenly I realized that this is the answer to my own question.
She's in a hurry, this is equivalent to not letting herself go!
