Chapter 417: The mysterious embroidered shoes have reappeared

There is a small room facing the back garden, through the window of the small house, you can see the gate of this palace from a distance! Zhao Hang did not know where to find a dilapidated embroidered round stool, every afternoon, he likes to sit here, looking at the closed palace gate from a distance, and be in a daze for a while! The shadow of his father Zhao Xun often appears in his mind, after his father's death, he was embraced by a group of people on the throne of the emperor in a daze, he did not feel the scenery, he did not feel the glory, only felt pain and helplessness. Although the childhood memories are fragmentary and vague, they are very impressive. It took a whole day for Queen Le to clean up this small house. She and her son Zhao live in a small stone house in the back garden, and never come here at night. For some unknown reason, whenever night fell, the whole palace shook gently, and occasionally some strange sounds were heard. But when you listen carefully, there is no sound, and when you look closely, the tall and majestic palace still stands like a mountain, not moving at all! No matter what, Empress Le thinks that this palace is very evil, and at night, she takes her son to live in a small stone house in the back garden, and never allows her son to step into the palace for half a step.

Tonight is an exception!

As soon as Empress Le stepped into this palace, she felt a pair of eyes looking at her behind her. She looked back vigilantly, but saw nothing.

Zhao Hang lit half of the candle to illuminate his mother.

The first floor of the palace was originally a hall, but now it is divided into hundreds of small houses of various sizes. There is a small door between these small houses, except for the small house where Zhao Hang often stays, which was cleaned by Queen Le, everywhere else remains the same, thick dust, not to mention five inches, dusty cobwebs, can be seen everywhere.

Queen Le took Zhao Hang to look for room by room, unfortunately, these small houses of different sizes have nothing but dust and cobwebs, and if you want to find a place to hide, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky!

This abandoned palace has a total of three floors, and the strange thing is that Queen Le turned around for a long time, but she didn't see a single flight of stairs.

How do I get to the next floor without stairs?

Empress Le and Zhao hung their heads and ran around brainlessly, their heads and bodies covered with dust and cobwebs.

Zhao Hang was a little deflated: "Mother, it's so dirty here, there's nothing to eat at all." ”

Queen Le gasped: "Find the stairs...... Let's go to the second floor!"

Go any further, and you won't find the door.

Empress Le and Zhao Hang hurried back again, and walked out through the small doors that came in.

Zhao Hang held the candle, the dim candlelight lit up the small room, the floor of the room, full of thick dust, there were large and small footprints on the dust, the big one was Queen Le's, and the small one was Zhao Han's. Inadvertently, Queen Le suddenly glanced at the footprints on the ground. Just such a casual glance, Queen Le was stunned. Because she found that there were still many giant footprints in the room. Queen Le put her foot in, her foot was less than a third of the giant footprint. When did this giant footprint be left, and why didn't she find it in the first place? Zhao Hang also found out, and he looked at his mother in surprise: "Mother! Who are these footprints? Why didn't I see them when we first entered this room?"

Queen Le shuddered: "Could it be that something has been following us?" she thought so, but she didn't say it, she was afraid that her son Zhao Hang would be afraid!

"Who has such a pair of big feet? If it's not a person, then it may be ......" Queen Le couldn't think of it, and she didn't dare to think about it!

Queen Le went out of the small door and returned to another small room, exactly the same situation as just now.

Giant footprints, giant footprints again!

Empress Le pulled her son Zhao Hang and walked back in fear, and in every small room they had just walked through, there were terrifying giant footprints. The muscles in the corners of Queen Le's eyes were beating violently, and she was sure that something must have been quietly following them.

They finally got back to where they started, and their starting place was the little house facing the back garden. Queen Le grabbed the worn-out embroidered round stool. There was nothing to be found in those large and small rooms, and although this shabby little round stool was made of wood, it was better than those dusty cobwebs! The door of this small room was facing the back garden.

In the back garden, the moonlight is bleak.

Zhao Hang suddenly exclaimed: "Mother, there are people in the garden!"

Queen Le hurriedly covered Zhao Hang's mouth and said softly: "Don't speak!"

A man in black in a bronze mask stood motionless beside the small stone house in the garden, the cold moonlight shining on him, and a long shadow dragging on the ground. This man was frighteningly tall, half a head taller than the small stone house next to him. A pair of cold eyes gleamed behind the mask. He carried a ghost-headed knife with a glittering cold light in his hand. The wide blade head is eye-catching in the moonlight.

Empress Le only glanced at it, and then took her son Zhao Hang and ran into the small house of the palace.

The man in black sneered, carried the ghost-headed broadsword, and walked towards the palace step by step......

Empress Le pulled her son and ran towards the other end of the palace, the layout of which was exactly the same as just now, it was also a large and small room, with rooms of different sizes crisscrossing each other, and each room had two small doors, one in and one out. The room was dusty and covered with cobwebs. Zhao Hang ran while holding the candle with his hand.

Behind them, there was a sudden sound of rhythmic footsteps.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly looked back, he didn't see anyone, but saw a pair of red embroidered shoes on the ground. These embroidered shoes have a bright red face and are embroidered with black peonies, and these embroidered shoes are extra-large, at least three or four times larger than ordinary embroidered shoes.

Empress Le also saw it, her eyes were wide open, and a look of horror appeared on her face. She didn't know about this palace, but she had heard of this huge pair of red embroidered shoes. Legend has it that when Zhao Meixue, the founding emperor of the Great Zhao Empire, disappeared, the palace was full of these huge red embroidered shoes. Could it be that those huge footprints on the floor were all left by these huge embroidered shoes? However, how could the shoes run, how could they always follow behind them? This thing is so weird that it makes people's hair tingle when they think about it! In the palace of the Great Zhao Empire, since Zhao Meixue disappeared, no palace maid dared to wear embroidered shoes. Embroidered shoes have become synonymous with ominousness, and on weekdays, they don't even dare to mention it. Unexpectedly, tonight, in this abandoned palace, Queen Le saw the legendary huge red embroidered shoes!

Empress Le's lips trembled, her face was pale, and she looked at the huge pair of red embroidered shoes on the ground, while urging Zhao Hang: "Go...... Let's go......"

Zhao Hang promised in his mouth, and while looking back, he followed his mother out.
