Qiu Mansion hasn't been so busy in many years.

The old man seems to have lost his mind and gone crazy, he spends all day in the land of fireworks, his family doesn't care, the court doesn't care anymore, and he doesn't want business, everyone is in a hurry.

When the master was drunk, the emperor came.

went directly to the house and waited, which made the old housekeeper very worried, for fear that the old man would be blamed.

You know, the heart of the king is unpredictable, let alone when such an obvious mistake is made.

The old housekeeper sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell a lie, and replied honestly: "Back to my father-in-law's words, the old man is in a bad mood, drank some wine, and now he hasn't woken up." ”

He was about to explain more, so that the emperor could understand the truth of some things, but he himself didn't know why the master became like this?

For a while, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, jumping up and down to say but not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the emperor suddenly turned around, looked at him, and said, "Where is your girl?" ”

The old housekeeper didn't react for a while, and was just about to say that the emperor must have misremembered, how can there be a girl in the Qiu family?

Then I remembered the Queen Mother who had just returned home today, the cold sweat on her head was dripping, and her brain was directly confused, and she couldn't understand the meaning of the emperor's question.

Although the news of Qiu Jue's departure from home was not said to the public, these important figures of the Qiu family knew about it.

It is said that when she returns to Beijing, she should return to the palace as soon as possible, check her body, and then ask for a decree to leave the palace, but who wants the queen mother to go anywhere, so she will go back to the house directly.

He is a housekeeper, he can't drive his master away, he is anxious for most of the day.

I was thinking about how to persuade Niangniang to return to the palace, but I heard that the strange girl next to her was a secret guard sent by the emperor, so I instantly stopped thinking about it.

"Back to the emperor, old slave, I don't know."

"I don't know? Didn't she go home? ”

The emperor was not angry, but asked him very calmly, but the old butler was still so frightened that he bowed down.

"The emperor is angry, the queen mother is really worried about the master, so she didn't go back to the palace first, she ......"

The old housekeeper was talking, and suddenly felt the wind sweeping around him, and when he looked, the emperor left directly.

Pu Gong kicked him and whispered, "What are you doing with so much nonsense?" The emperor doesn't mean to blame Niangniang, you get up quickly and find Niangniang's whereabouts. ”

The old butler quickly got up and went out.

met Lu Zhan head-on, and as soon as Lu Zhan saw the emperor, his eyes immediately stood up, and he was about to say a few words with him, but was stopped by the old housekeeper in advance.

"Go find the Queen Mother, don't make a noise."

A quarter of an hour later, news came, Lu Zhan came over to say, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is on the viewing platform." ”

The emperor got up and walked out, and everyone followed, and before he went out, the emperor turned around sharply and said, "Don't follow." ”

Pu Gonggong nodded in response, stopped the others, and said, "It's so late, so many of us are pouring into the street, the target is too big, and it is easy to attract attention." ”

Of course, other people have no opinion, who likes to wait for the emperor's master, this is the most difficult job in the world.

Until this time, the Ula brothers and sisters and the second son did not appear, and no one told them that the emperor had come to this matter.

Walking on the streets at night, Qiu Jue's heart was very peaceful, they climbed the moon viewing platform, very high, higher than the city gate building, used to be used to watch the enemy, divided into north and south.

Qiu Jue ascended to the south tower, which was the earliest moon viewing platform built, coming up from a narrow wooden staircase, the staircase is only enough for one person to turn around, and the up and down are very steep, almost straight up and down.

I finally climbed the high platform, but there was only one stone table and three stone piers here, and nothing else.

Coming here, climbing high and looking into the distance, Qiu Jue's mood instantly relaxed a lot.

"You can really see that far here." Qiu Jue looked at the dark clearing outside the city and said lightly.

The lark nodded, "This city has experienced several wars, no matter which dynasty or generation, who is the king, these two viewing platforms have never been touched, and they are still being repaired. ”

Qiu Jue also nodded.

"Such a place is advantageous to every ruler, and they will naturally protect it."

The two did not say anything more.

After a long time, the lark looked at the sky and said, "Niangniang, it's time for us to go back!" ”

"Where?" Qiu Jue sat with his back to her and asked softly.

The lark was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Where you want to go back, let's go back!" ”

"I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay here."

Qiu Jue responded that she didn't want to go back to the palace, and she didn't want to be embarrassed by the Qiu family.

I have nowhere to complain about my troubles, and I just want to stay in this no-man's land and cleanse my soul.

After several considerations, the lark cautiously spoke, and said, "Niangniang doesn't want the emperor to draft?" ”

Qiu Jue was silent, "I just don't want to go back to the palace." ”

She was afraid that she would have to stay in that place for the rest of her life.

"There used to be idle days to live, if the emperor is drafted, there will be more and more people in the women's palace in the harem, there are more people right and wrong, and if there are many right and wrong, it is easy to be chaotic, and chaos is annoying, and there will be no more such idle days." 520

In the final analysis, she couldn't choose today's day at all, and from the day she entered the palace, it might have been destined to be such a result.

"However, the emperor will draft the draft, and every palace is the same." The lark is puzzled, this problem, even a flat-headed ordinary person knows.

Why is Niangniang just starting to sigh now?

"Yes, he is the emperor." After a long time, Qiu Jue said this.

Then she asked the lark, "Am I being too hypocritical, you say?" ”

Skylark:?

"I have become the queen mother, I don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life, let alone the trouble of serving a husband with other women, but I am still not satisfied, I don't even know what I want, I don't want to go back to the palace, I can't leave, I don't want him to draft, I don't know what I want him, I am very entangled and annoyed......"

Qiu Jue's expression changed as she spoke, and finally she closed her voice again.

The lark always listened and didn't speak, but there was a storm in his heart, and she seemed to be different from the emperor.

Hopefully it's not what she thinks.

If one of the masters is crazy, then if both of them are crazy, then they who are slaves will suffer.

At this moment, suddenly a fire appeared in the sky, and the lark subconsciously pulled Qiu Jue behind him, and then jumped to the stairs.

There was no time to hide, and with a loud bang, a heat wave hit behind him.

The lark only had time to push Qiu Jue to the top of the stairs, and the whole person was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Qiu Jue didn't fall, and the lark protected her well.

All this happened between the lightning and flint, they were still moaning innocently one moment, and the next moment they were in danger, and it was still deadly.

The rocket carried the oil directly into the wooden plank of the south building, and it ignited instantly.

In order to protect Qiu Jue, the lark was shot in the right leg by an arrow, penetrated it, and was nailed directly to the plank.

She couldn't move at all.

"Mother, let's go."

The moment Qiu Jue looked back, she saw this scene, and she remembered the injuries and sins that the lark had suffered along the way to protect her, and her eyes turned red directly.

She didn't say a word, and a few steps in front of the lark, "How is it?" Able to pull. Come out? ”

The lark pushed her hand away and said eagerly: "You go quickly, the fire is too big, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

Because the arrows were covered with oil and wooden boards, most of the fire burned together.

"It's too late, it's too late, you save my life again and again, is it true that I, Qiu Jue, in your eyes, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, watching others die for me, and still being indifferent?"

The lark didn't care what she was talking about, she was anxious, "This is the mission of the slave maid as a secret guard, and it is also a kind of glory, the mother and maid go quickly, if you have something, the slave and maid will not be able to atone for their sins even if they die." ”

She almost roared, but Qiu Jue was also stubborn, looked at her wound, and said, "Is there a way to pull it out?" ”

The arrow passed through the bones and was directly inserted into the ground, and the scene of blurred flesh and blood made Qiu Jue tremble.

But the lark, a little girl as big as her, didn't say a word.

He also wanted her to leave quickly.

If she leaves, the lark will surely die.

"Yes." The lark also saw Qiu Jue's determination, and immediately made a move, slapped the end of the arrow feather down, and the arrow body passed through her leg bones and plunged deep into the floor.

The blood flowed all over the ground, but the lark stood up and was about to go down with Qiu Jue.

The two of them took a few steps to the stairs only to find that the smoke was billowing out, and they would go down and be suffocated if they were not burned to death.

"Who the hell dares to do it to Niangniang at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

The lark frowned, Qiu Jue looked around, the only thing that was strong here was the stone pillar that supported the entire high platform.

But at the moment, the two of them don't have any assembly, and they can't go down at all.

"Don't think about it so much, it's important to run for your life first."

The lark tore a few long strips from her clothes and tied them to her legs, but it still didn't take much force, and she gritted her teeth to observe the situation around her.

But the fire was too big, and those people had set fire to it underneath, and at this moment, unless they grew wings and flew down, there was no way to live.

There were already a lot of people gathered at the bottom, and some people reported to the officials, but no matter how many people came down, they couldn't come up at all.

Qiu Jue looked at the four pillars, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you down." ”

She was glad that today she was dressed as a man, long enough and belted, and she took off her robe, and let the lark tear it into pieces, and then twisted it into a hemp rope and tied it to the guide tower above.

There was a very thick iron pillar there, the fire had not yet burned, Qiu Jue tied one end well, and then beckoned to the lark, saying: "I carry you on my back, go down from here, as long as I can get that pillar, I will be sure to take you down." ”

Qiu Jue measured the distance visually, and then asked, "How is it, is there a way to send me over?" ”

The lark objected, resolutely opposed, "No, that pillar doesn't seem to have been burned by the fire, but the pavilion has already caught fire, and the temperature is so high, I'm afraid that as soon as your hands stick to it, it will be scalded and blistered, not to mention that you have to climb down." ”

She said she didn't agree with anything.

But Qiu Jue ignored her at all, and was busy with the hands in his hands, and said as he did it: "You just delay the time, the later the time, the higher the temperature on the pillar, if you don't want to see your master's hands and legs turn into roast pig's trotters and roast lamb legs, you can quickly climb up by yourself." ”
