Chapter 24: The Trip to the Western Prison
"This guest officer, what kind of famous calligraphy and painting are you looking for?" The shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop saw that this young lady had been standing in front of this painting for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
If you want to say that this painting, it is placed in the innermost corner on weekdays, and it is about to put out a large cloud of dust.
On the one hand, although this painting is not a famous artist's handwriting, and the seal is also an unfamiliar name, on the other hand, because this painting is not the favorite Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum of ordinary literati, or the general ink landscape painting, revealing the lofty artistic conception, this is a painting that makes people feel worried about it.
A blood-colored, gloomy environment, seeing a person walking on this blood-colored ocean, step by step, the farthest footprints slowly turned into blooming irises, big red irises, reflecting this piece of blood more and more dark and treacherous, revealing the feeling of the legendary Shura blood sea.
I couldn't see that person's face clearly, but his expression was extremely leisurely, as if he didn't know that he was walking on a sea of blood, or it could also be said that this person was the king of this sea of blood, walking alone leisurely, regardless of the blood waves behind him.
This is the most suspicious painting that Qu Moying found after entering the store, and finally chose this painting to stand and savor it.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop stepped forward.
"King Yunjun saved me and came to give a thank you gift." Qu Moying didn't look back, his eyes still fell on this blood-colored painting, and the long veils of his eyes hung down on both sides, looking elegant and natural.
But the words are very straightforward!
"You want to see the king?" The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and subconsciously took a step back and looked respectful.
This is indeed a shop under the name of King Yunjun, but few people know the owner of this shop, or the relationship between them and King Yunjun is not ordinary.
The shopkeeper knew who this young lady was, and he was also present when there was an accident before, so he saw Qu Moying, mainly because Qu Moying's veil was too eye-catching, and there was no second person in this image.
It's not easy to forget.
"I came here to give a thank you gift." Qu Moying slowly turned around and reiterated again with a calm expression.
"This ...... Maybe the young lady has to wait a little longer, so I'll have to ask first. "The shopkeeper doesn't dare to call the shots.
Listening to this meaning, it is still the meaning of King Yunjun himself, how dare the little shopkeeper call the shots.
asked Qu Moying to be led to the small box upstairs, served tea, and the shopkeeper hurriedly went out and called someone to report to the Yunjun Palace.
The messenger came back quickly, and brought a normal carriage with him, which was parked at the back door.
The blue and blue oil cart is the most ordinary kind, and it is also the most inconspicuous on the street, Qu Moying didn't ask much, took Yuchun into the carriage, and the carriage slowly moved forward.
Slightly lifted the curtain and looked at the direction of the carriage, but it was not the mansion of King Yunjun in Beijing.
"Miss......" Yuchun was a little scared, who in this capital has not heard of the reputation of Yunjun Wang, even if he is rarely in the capital, it is the same.
"No problem!" Qu Moying put down the curtain in his hand, no longer peeking out, his eyes drooped, his hand shook the handkerchief hard, his eyes no longer hesitated, and he became firm.
Since this is already the case, any hesitation is unacceptable.
King Yunjun didn't want his own life, even if he wanted Qu Zhizhen's life, no one dared to say anything, even if it was so, why panic.
The carriage made a few turns and stopped at one point.
Qu Moying held Yuchun's hand, stood in front of the tall lintel, and looked at the two huge words "West Prison" on it, his eyes couldn't help but tighten.
It is actually the "West Prison", where some important prisoners of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are escorted.
It is said that even the floor tiles at the entrance here are soaked in blood, and if it rains, the water that washes down after the rain will have a faint red color.
It's a place where the color of the tiger changes and it's a place that makes many people shiver.
Even if I walked here during the day, I felt that the wind was gusting and the blood was monstrous.
Yunjun Wang Pei Yuanjun would actually see her in such a place?
The water eyes narrowed slightly, calming the frenzy in her heart, at this time, she must move forward, there is no way back.
"Little ...... Miss ......" Yuchun stammered in fright, and stretched out her hand to pull a corner of Qu Moying's clothes, how could she not have heard of such a famous place as the West Prison.
This time, even the legs and feet are soft.
"Don't be afraid!" Qu Moying comforted her softly, raised her eyes and looked at the plaque hanging high above, "Since there are some things that can't be avoided, then there is no need to escape, is there anything more terrible than avoiding it?" ”
"Yes...... But the slave maid was still afraid...... "Yuchun trembled."
The corners of Qu Moying's sleeves were trembling, Qu Moying looked at the trembling corners of his clothes, and the corners of his lips hooked silently, what a timid but kind girl, there used to be such a girl ring by her side, but I don't know what happened to her until now!
When there was an accident in the new house that day, the light rain in Yahuan was gone, and there was only a slanting wind around her, and then it was the oblique wind that pulled her out of the cave room, but let the crime sit on her own body.
The slanting wind has betrayed itself a long time ago!
"Yuchun, what are you afraid of?" The two maid rings silently coincided, making her heart soften.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid heard about this...... It's full of ghosts...... ...... in broad daylight Ghosts can be seen in broad daylight...... Yes...... Someone who walks by here, and the lighter life will also ...... I will also get seriously ill. Yuchun stammered.
"Did you hurt them?" Qu Moying smiled, under the soft veil of his eyes, his smile was cold, and he gently pursed the corners of his lips, outlining a trace of coldness that was different from the softness.
"Little ...... Miss...... Slaves and maidservants don't know him...... They! Yuchun was aggrieved to death, looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more he felt that there was a gust of wind here, and there was no one at the door, so it was difficult for a ghost to guard the door.
Thinking like this, Yuchun became more and more scared, and subconsciously leaned towards Qu Moying's side.
Yu Chun is taller than Qu Moying, although she is not thin, but compared to the slender Qu Moying, she still looks a little older, but now she leans towards Qu Moying's side as if she is seeking protection, which looks extremely interesting.
"Since you don't know them, and you haven't harmed them, why are they looking for you?" Qu Moying looked at Yuchun, and her voice became softer and softer, "In this world, in fact, the most terrifying thing is not the dead ghost, but the human heart. ”
Speaking of this, Qu Moying paused, raised her eyes, and looked in the direction of the Prince's East Palace, her eyes were full of mockery, she just couldn't see through people's hearts, so she ended up in such a situation.
Ghosts? Actually, it's nothing, she's actually a ghost!
But she didn't want to hurt people, she just wanted those who hurt people to deserve it.
Rebirth, even if it is to set off a sea of blood hell, she also wants revenge, for this at all costs, she will not hesitate to die, she will not hesitate to do anything, just for the truth of the original unjust death.
If there is no righteousness in this world, she seeks righteousness for herself.
Yu Chun's hand slowly loosened, looking at the young lady who had always been withdrawn but actually kind, biting his lip, inexplicably remembering the reaction of the young lady in the past two days, and a look of sadness and anger swelled up.
Truly! The human heart is the most difficult to see, and it is more terrifying than ghosts. The second lady and the third lady are such people, who have repeatedly viciously murdered Miss, but they can still enjoy the glory in the mansion, but Miss was sent to Zhuangzi, and they have been raised for so many years, except for Miss Ji and Mrs. Tai, who will think of Miss and give gifts to Miss during the New Year's Festival.
The former young lady was withdrawn, although she was young, but she had a dull twilight, sometimes she sat all day, and she didn't even say anything, that feeling of no thought, so that several of them who were waiting close to her felt sad, if it wasn't for the injured life without love, how could it be!
Today's young lady is different, it seems to be a completely different person, even if she still looks like the weak and slender young lady, but it makes people feel a kind of treacherous danger, but it makes Yuchun inexplicably relieved.
It seems that such a young lady can better protect her and protect herself.
Thinking so in his heart, his expression calmed down, he bit his lip hard, straightened his body, and followed behind Qu Moying, she is the big girl ring next to Miss, Miss has to change, how can she be as timid as before, she wants to protect Miss, even if her strength is weak, she must stand firmly in front of Miss.
Even the young lady can't retreat, how can she retreat when she is a maid.
Seeing Yuchun's changes, Qu Moying showed a smile in her eyes, she needs a loyal, but not timid helper, the road in the future is not easy to walk, and she is even doomed to risks, she doesn't want Yuchun to be such a loyal girl to fold on this road, if Yuchun can't be strong, she will send Yuchun away from her.
She hopes that Yuchun will follow her and not need too much weakness, but fortunately, the current Yuchun makes her very satisfied.
Walking in again, I walked to the high gate, only to see a few guards standing in the corner by the door, in fact, they were here early, but both of them were here for the first time, and they didn't notice such a place in the shadows.
"Who?" A guard came up, pressed his hand on the saber on his waist, and was very surprised by the pair of masters and servants who looked extremely weak, but still stepped forward and asked, "This is the West Prison, not a place to hang out casually, idle people and others leave quickly!" ”
Qu Moying stood still and frowned, this is very difficult to answer, did she mean that King Yunjun asked her to come, or did she say that she came to find King Yunjun?
In fact, neither of these explanations is appropriate.
A clever boy dressed as a servant ran out of it, saw the master and servant outside the door, looked up and down twice, walked to the guard, leaned over and whispered a few words, the guard nodded again and again, and then asked all the guards standing on both sides to step back, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Miss, please!" actually bent over, and his expression became stuttering.
The little guy led the way with a smile in front.
Qu Moying nodded, and unhurriedly followed into the gate of the West Prison that made the people of the capital talk about the tiger......
In an attic in front of the gate of the West Prison, Pei Yuanjun looked at this strange master and servant, turned back lazily, and sat down on the wide chair in the middle.
Yahuan's courage is so small, but this young lady's courage is big.
Or not just bold, but actually a bold person, the first time to enter the gate of this West Prison, including those who are officials in the court, he has not met and does not change his name, this girl has done it.
The corners of the lips of the handsome yin owl were hooked silently, which was very suitable......
