Chapter 170: Don't Do Unto Others
The guy led Ling Xiu'er in through the back door.
The first square in the world is just a pavilion from the outside, but when you walk in, you will find that there are many corridors inside, and there are many rooms, and you will get lost if you don't pay attention to it.
Ling Xiu'er followed the guy around and around and came to an exquisite room.
The door is made of elaborate mahogany, and the door is facing a table of eight immortals connecting the ear chambers on both sides.
Hu Yuesheng was dressed in purple as usual, so beautiful that even women were jealous, and there was a woman sitting next to him.
The woman's white clothes are fluttering, and the ice is clear and jade, and she is like a mortal fairy. Ling Xiu'er couldn't help but feel a little familiar, and suddenly remembered when she met her when she was selling embroidery paintings one day.
"Ling Xiu'er, don't you salute when you see the princess?"
Hu Yuesheng got up and took the lead in chanting Chitose, and Ling Xiu'er also followed his example to salute Princess Qi, playing a small drum in her heart, not knowing whether this trip was good or bad.
Pei Yubing ordered the two of them to get up, her attitude was noble and detached, and she had a faint smile on her face, "Miss Ling, we have met before. ”
"Yes." Ling Xiu'er replied timidly, not knowing why the princess suddenly found her, and then heard her say: "The dress you changed before is from this palace." ”
"The princess is angry, the folk girl deserves to die, I don't know it's the princess's clothes, please forgive the princess."
Looking at Ling Xiu'er who was eager to explain on the ground, Pei Yubing helped her up in a friendly manner, "You misunderstood, this palace is looking for you to entrust you with embroidery." ”
It turned out that he had taken a fancy to his embroiderer. The stone in Ling Xiu'er's heart fell, and now that Cao Yu is being imprisoned in the prison, it will be bad if she goes wrong again.
Ling Xiu'er shook her head when she heard this, "Princess, it's not that the people's daughter deliberately aroused the princess's interest, it's just that the people's daughter's father-in-law is locked up in prison....."
"Cao Yu cheats, right?" Pei Yubing glanced at Ling Xiu'er's hesitant hands, and said very simply: "It's just that you promised to help this palace, and this palace will save Cao Yu." ”
Pei Yubing said it easily, which made Ling Xiu'er a little afraid to agree, maybe in the eyes of the superiors, they civilians are like ants.
But if Ling Xiu'er didn't agree, Cao Yu really didn't save her. She thought for a few seconds and replied, "Princess Xie, the folk girl will do her best." ”
Pei Yubing nodded appreciatively, "You come with me." ”
Then Ling Xiu'er was taken into a luxurious carriage and went smoothly all the way to and from the palace.
Along the way, Ling Xiu'er's heart fluctuated, and she didn't know if Pei Yubing would comfort herself like the Zhang family, or if she could really rescue Cao Yu. Thinking about it, Ling Xiu'er decided to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, in case Cao Yu was rescued.
When she came to the palace, Ling Xiu'er saw what she wanted to embroider, a half-person-long picture of the splendid rivers and mountains, and ordinary embroiderers had to embroider for half a year, but half of this picture had been embroidered.
Ling Xiu'er looked at Pei Yubing suspiciously.
"Princess, do you want me to finish this embroidery?"
"That's right." Pei Yubing asked people to take out the original work, and seeing the bright colors of the original painting, Ling Xiuer understood why Pei Yubing was looking for herself.
"The difficulty of this picture is in the color, there are already five embroiderers to try, this palace hopes that you can be the last one."
Ling Xiu'er looked at the embroidery in front of her, a little hesitant, for example, the current embroidery picture is like a painting has been hooked, just waiting for Ling Xiu'er to color. But the color of embroidery is more difficult than painting.
Pei Yubing threw out the killer weapon at the right time, "The sooner you finish the painting, the faster your husband can get out of prison." ”
After hearing this, Ling Xiu'er was shocked, "I promise." She wants Cao Yu to be released from prison as soon as possible, even if it is worth paying any price.
The corners of Pei Yubing's mouth hooked up a mysterious smile, and ordered: "Okay, there are people outside the door to serve all day, if you need anything, just ask." ”
Pei Yubing left, and Ling Xiu'er was the only one left in the room.
It was noon, the house was illuminated by the sun, and the splendid pictures of the rivers and mountains changed colors under the reflection of the sun, which dazzled people.
Ling Xiu'er tried to use silk threads mixed with gold to restore the wonderful colors of the scenery of the country, but she tried several times on the sample and failed, if only there was gold silk now. But time is pressing, every second that passes, Cao Yu is in danger, in case he embroiders himself, Cao Yu is ......
Ling Xiu'er hurriedly shook her head to stop this ominous thought.
She forced herself to calm down and think about what else she could do, and after a few failures, it became dark and pulled down. Looking at the bloody remnant sun outside the window, Ling Xiu'er suddenly had an idea.
She pricked her fingers and dripped the essence blood on the embroidery, her ability was limited, she could only resurrect the low-grade grass, trees, insects and fish, and this beautiful scenery of the country was naturally impossible to become real. But something miraculous happened, the dull embroidery became brilliant after absorbing the essence and blood, and even when there was no sunlight, the colors were visible to the naked eye.
Ling Xiu'er instantly had hope for life, she stepped up her actions to make embroidery, stayed up for a day and a night, and finally finished the embroidery.
When this splendid picture of the country was sent to Pei Yubing, Pei Yubing couldn't help but be stunned. Ling Xiu'er's embroidery has surpassed the original painting.
She looked at Ling Xiu'er's fingers wrapped in white cloth and said lightly, "Miss Ling has worked hard. ”
Ling Xiu'er's eyes were dark and blue, and her eyes were bloodshot, as if she would faint at any time, but she still forced herself to ask, "Princess, I am ...... him?"
"He'll be released soon."
"Isn't it now?" Ling Xiu'er's voice couldn't help but rise, didn't she say that as long as she embroidered embroidery, Cao Yu would be able to get out of prison?
Pei Yubing still smiled, "Miss Ling, you are confused. It also takes time for this palace to work, so you can go home and wait for news. ”
"Princess, that's not what you said before!" Ling Xiu'er was inevitably impatient, Pei Yubing's actions couldn't help but remind Ling Xiu'er of Li's sister-in-law who prostituted her embroidery in vain, both of them took advantage of their kindness, and they couldn't get anything in the end.
Pei Yubing was so upset by Ling Xiu'er that she made a look and asked people to drag Ling Xiu'er out.
Ling Xiu'er didn't leave, her hands smashed the door frame, and her bandaged fingers oozed blood again.
The subordinates threw Ling Xiu'er out, closed the door with a "bang", and let Ling Xiu'er not open it no matter how he hammered it.
"Princess, princess, you can't lie to me, we clearly said yes."
Ling Xiu'er shouted dizzily, but her willpower supported her not to fall, if the princess didn't help, she really didn't know who to find to save Cao Yu.
"Xiu'er?"
The familiar voice sounded behind itself, Ling Xiu'er stopped her movements and turned back in disbelief, and saw Cao Yu standing in front of her alive, with an anxious face.
The pain in her head suddenly exploded, and Ling Xiu'er's eyes went dark and she fainted.
"Xiu'er!"
Cao Yu took three steps and made two steps and rushed up to hug the person, his eyes were red, and the three words of Qi Wangfu were firmly engraved in his mind. He didn't know why Ling Xiu'er fainted again, but he couldn't get out of the Qi Palace!
It was already two days before Ling Xiu'er woke up again.
