Text Chapter 142 Trading
Fengqi Palace.
This is the first time that Hua Hate Liu has walked into this palace, before he visited the inner palace at night twice, almost all of them went straight to the princess pavilion, although he thought that sooner or later he would inevitably have this trip, but he didn't expect that he would come, but he came in the name of "proposing".
I have to say, it's ridiculous.
Besides, at this time, there is a log box that is not big or small - in the eyes of others, there may be some benefits hidden in it, and Hua Hate Liu also hopes so.
However, he didn't know what was inside.
It's not that he doesn't want to open the box to see, it's that the box can't be opened at all. Instead of a red ribbon, a seemingly ordinary silver steel chain would wrap around the box, and finally strung with the lock nose at the mouth of the box, locked by a small bronze lock.
If it is forcibly opened, it is not difficult for Hua Hate Liu, in fact, he was also thinking about doing this when he first got this box at the gate of the inner palace. However, after careful consideration, he suddenly changed his mind and directly brought the box into the inner palace intact.
And the reason why he still walked all the way with the sealed box was because the person who led the way was Bai Yu'e, who had a relationship with him.
"You'd better hide the princess tightly, don't let me find it, or ......" He led the way, nodding and smiling at the eunuchs and maidservants who passed by, only when he saw the flowers hating the willows, he would put on a look of extreme disgust...... Of course, this is just the situation at the beginning, as the two of them go inside, they meet fewer people, and his hatred of Hua Hate Liu is not limited to putting on an embarrassed appearance, which is why he said above.
"Uh...... One thing I'm curious about. Hua Hate Liu turned a blind eye to Bai Yu'e's threat, and instead cared more about another thing: "Is it the real you when you smile at those people, or is it the real you when you have a strong sense of jealousy towards me?" โ
"Jealousy?" Bai Yu'e snorted coldly after hearing this, and said, "I don't think you understand, I don't have any envy with you, I'm just taking back what I deserve......
After hearing this, Hua Hate Liu did not squeak, but nodded thoughtfully and continued to follow.
"What's in the box?" After walking for a while, Bai Yu'er asked with a casual appearance.
"Oh...... Huh? As if to prove that he was really distracted before, Hua Hate Liu was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the box in his hand and asked.
"I don't know." Seeing Bai Yu'e frowning and nodding, he also frowned and replied solemnly.
"Huh?" Bai Yu'e imagined what might be inside, such as gold and silver jewelry, such as some kind of powerful weapon, or the page of the missing marriage letter...... Either way, he first conceived it, and then analyzed it himself and denied it, so he conceived, negated, conceived, and negated...... The reason why he asked was that he couldn't think of anything worth spending on the hated willow to give to the mother of the Yue countryโor rather, he couldn't figure out what else in this world the mother of the country was interested in and was willing to exchange her daughter for the same price or the difference.
However, after guessing a lot, he never thought that Hua Hate Liu would say the words "I don't know" seriously, and he couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and he couldn't help but "huh" out loud.
Seeing that Hua Hate Liu chuckled at himself, his face suddenly froze, he turned his face away and simply stopped talking, and continued to walk towards Fengqi Palace with Hua Hate Liu in a muffled voice.
Hua hated Liu followed behind, and he also looked preoccupied.
He had already guessed what was inside, the size, the smell, although not familiar, but he could easily associate something - like a blood-stained human head.
Thinking about it, the expression of this human head should be very peaceful, after all, the "sting" outside the room is still so stable, if you suddenly wake up when you are dying, the "sting" will either collapse, or it will become extremely unstable due to emotional influence, then the expression will become much more hideous.
Since the other party gave the box to himself outside the gate of the inner palace, I think it also means that he will bring the box into the palace......
Hua Hyaliu thought about it carefully, but the person who delivered the box was just a cleanly dressed child, and he couldn't see anything else abnormal.
The point is, how to explain this thing in order to dissociate itself from yourself...... Thinking of the face of the mother of the Yue country, Hua Hate Liu couldn't help but worry about how to explain.
If you tell the truth, I'm afraid that the other party will also suspect that he arranged the nursery in advance to wait for him outside the palace gate, and Bai Yu'e just saw it "at the right time", right? Even if it weren't for him Bai Yu'e, the imperial guards who were called to guard the city gate at that time could act as the "accomplice" of Hua Hate Liu, confirming that he was the box he received outside the palace gate......
The more intelligent people are, the more suspicious they become, and this has been the case since ancient times.
What's more, the other party is still a crazy woman who can't wait to kill her for a reason!
"Now, how about we make a deal between the two of us?" After being silent for a long time, Hua Hate Liu suddenly said to Bai Yu, who was walking in front of him.
"What deal?" Hearing Hua Hateliu's proposal, although he was disgusted by his intriguing behavior of asking directly, he still stopped and prepared to listen to the following.
"I need you to prove to me that this box is indeed what I just received, and by whatever means, I need to make her believe what I say." Flipped the box in his hand, and hated Liu Dao.
"It's just a matter of one sentence...... Although the other party said it lightly, Hua Hate Liu also knew that it was only "easy to say" at present, and Bai Yu'e didn't promise anything.
"You open the conditions now, if you can promise me, I will agree, and once I promise, I will definitely do it." Fearing that the other party would ask him questions like "return Princess Yuqing" or "I want your life", Hua Hate Liu had no choice but to propose this.
"Hmph...... I don't think you're asking someone to come, you don't have the slightest sincerity......" Bai Yu'e sneered, turned around and continued to walk forward.
On the one hand, it is true that as he said, Hua Hateliu's proposal does not show any sincerity at all, and on the other hand, he also believes that Hua Hate Liu will definitely stop himself and make greater concessions - not that he really has the conditions to exchange with Hua Hateliu, but it is a very enjoyable thing to lead others to do things at their own pace.
He's just enjoying the process!
took three steps forward, there was no expected sound, Bai Yu'e wanted to hate Liu was not an ordinary person, so he was naturally more patient.
After taking ten steps forward, he still didn't make a sound, and he was slightly satisfied in his heart: yes, this is the person who is qualified to be his opponent.
After walking twenty steps forward, the other party still didn't mean to make a sound, Bai Yu'e was a little surprised in his heart, but he also thought: See how long you can hold back!
He and Hua Hate Liu walked at this time, which is the last of the twelve palace gates that must be passed in the direction of Fengqi Palace, called "Siguo Gate", which means "sitting quietly and thinking about one's own faults, and chatting about others", and it is also a reminder that the people of the harem are exemplary and must not interfere in the government affairs. After this gate, no more than a hundred zhang forward, is Fengqi Palace.
Now Bai Yu'e has walked half of the road, but he still hasn't heard the voice of Hua Hate Liu.
If it were someone else, he Bai Yu'e would not disdain to use these thoughts, but he was still curious about the flower hate willow. Maybe it's because as he said, he still has a little jealousy in his heart, or maybe it's because he feels that the two actually have some similarities in their personalities, so he has the idea of wanting to figure it out and see it.
Or maybe he is like a child who loves his own toys, the more he loves it, the more he must destroy the toys in his hands as soon as possible before he is willing to ......
He couldn't figure out the reason himself, but he didn't delay him from getting closer to Hua Hate Liu.
Thinking of this, he stopped, and was just about to turn back, but he heard the flower hate Liu behind him: "Don't you want to know what's in here?" โ
At first, he was happy in his heart, but after more than half of the joy, Bai Yu'e was extremely disappointed: he still lost! Although he spoke before himself, and seemed to give in, in fact, he stopped in front and spoke behind...... What made Bai Yubei even more frustrated was that he thought that the two of them were only a dozen steps apart when he heard the voice, but when he turned around, he found that the other party was standing in place and was not moving at all.
"I really don't know what it is." After approaching, Hua Hate Liu did not give Bai Yu'e a chance to speak, but said directly: "However, according to my guess, it should be a human head." โ
As he spoke, he carefully observed the change in the expression on the other party's face: "It's Mojue." After saying this, he really saw a very brief trace of shock in Bai Yu'e's eyes.
"And then?" After being shocked, Bai Yu'e asked indifferently, as if the head in this box was not an ally of his Silver Vase King family, but just a cat and a dog who had nothing to do with himself.
"You see it's locked...... "Hua Hyanagi pointed to the box, "I guess the key must be on her." "The reason why Hua Hates Liu is so sure, if he asks the bottom line, he can't answer, to put it bluntly, his thoughts at this time are just feelings - just temporary feelings.
"If it is said that it is the head of King Tietuo, although I doubt it, I also believe that it is possible...... The key, you can make it more bizarre and weird, if you can't complete the task and are disliked by Xizhou, you might as well come to me, the maids in my house are fine, but there is also a lack of storytelling and amusing ......" The two seemed to talk about unrelated things, but the latter's mockery could be heard from the tone.
Hua Hate Liu didn't show displeasure because of this, but chuckled: "How about we make a bet?" Fangcai's condition is still valid, but only if the key is in her hands, you need to help me confirm that this box is indeed from outside my palace gate; If it's not in her hands, you can just stay and watch a good show. โ
That doesn't seem to hurt at all...... After thinking carefully about Hua Hateliu's proposal, Bai Yu'e couldn't think of any disadvantage for himself, turned around and raised his feet and said, "Okay, just according to what you say!" โ
