Chapter 06: The Silver Candle Emerges

We watched these people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic and sighed.

Xiangye waved me and Apple over, and stroked our shoulders quite kindly: "This thief will not stop there, I originally wanted to keep you two in the house for a few days, and the palace will be paved." Now I'm afraid I'm going to send you to the palace overnight! ”

Enter the palace.

I replied to the word in my mind, and I felt confused.

Xiangye turned to Cheng Yun Gongzi: "I don't use my brains to do things, I almost killed two birds with one stone for my father!" ”

Cheng Yun suddenly realized: "Hmm~, it turns out that he wants us to use real knives and guns with him, and he can change his words and say that father, you robbed these two girls clearly, and the edict brought them back!" He nodded and made himself cute: "Then unite the party henchmen and make trouble before the emperor!" Hey, old thief! ”

The old father prefers his young son, and he must have eaten his coquettish path, and in a few words, he changed his complexion: "Okay, let's go quickly." ”

We were immediately seated, and the prime minister and the son rode in front. And around our carriage was a circle of escorts, and everything became stable and safe for the time being.

Late at night, I sighed from afar: "This Zhang Ruoqing, I hope she is not the thief's meticulous work......"

Apple heard this and whispered to me, "Do you remember something about two days ago?" ”

I rested my head in the corner to take a nap, and the car board gently shook my scalp, like a massage, sour and comfortable. It is estimated that the voice of the speaker also trembled: "The day before yesterday? It's been too long! My memory only begins when I woke up yesterday afternoon. ”

Apple clasped her face in her hands, stared at me and smacked her lips: "Tut-tut, I forgot where your house was." ”

It's true. It's not that I forgot, but I really don't know.

I didn't bother to move, so I just rolled my eyes to look at her: "What do you say, what's wrong?" ”

"Early the day before yesterday, I entered the official post with my name post, and that day was also the last day for all the women to be selected. After checking in, I went to the dormitory to put my luggage, but because I misread the room number plate, I mistakenly pushed the next room open. Then I saw Zhang Ruoqing and the purple-shirted woman muttering something! ”

I sat up straight: "Zhang Ruoqing can also speak the southwestern dialect?" ”

"Yusu, I may be mistaken, I thought about it carefully a few times, and the pronunciation of that dialect is not from the southwest Shu, but from the northwest-Wu clan."

Wushi, the name of the ancient northern clan. With Yiqu, Dali, Yanyan, etc., it has flourished in the north of Qishan for hundreds of years.

I quickly searched the small knowledge base in my brain and got it confirmed: "In that case, Zhang Nu's origin is really strange." ”

Apple added: "The tone of the two of them seemed to be discussing something, and there was a little anger. ”

I asked, "What happened later?" Have you ever seen two people talking? ”

"I haven't seen it." Apple slapped his thigh: "It's strange here, the two of them are like strangers they don't know in public!" ”

She winced: "Do you want to tell Xiangye this information?" ”

I'm fiddling with my nails, the speed has been growing in the past few days, and I can play a female ghost with red.

"Zhang Ruoqing is strange. And the people of the prince's group are even stranger, and I always feel that they have a deeper purpose! Then, in fact, Xiangye and Gongzi also have a little mysterious calculation, everyone looks like this, heh! Let's keep a little bit of information for ourselves - two bright people! ”

I said this slowly while thinking, and then I was amused by myself: "I guess Apple also thinks I'm strange, why did I suddenly lose my memory!" Apple is so pitiful, she is the only normal person! ”

"Apples! Apple! My real name is Meng Xueyuan. ”

"Okay, Apple Orchard, hahahahaha." Maybe I belong to the spirit of self-amusement in difficult times, but Apple is not infected by me, and his expression is serious.

"Don't laugh at people's strangeness, the strangest thing is you."

I was puzzled: "Oh? So tell me why. ”

Then she said something that made me feel creepy: "The night I stayed at the official inn, that is, the night before. You know, I'm always hungry, and I'm not allowed to go out to buy anything after the inn comes in, and I'm hungry in the middle of the night, so I have to look for the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat. ”

She swallowed and continued, "The kitchen has always been heavily oily, and it is usually found at the edge of the garden or in the corner. I guess it's in the right corner of the backyard, really. ”

It turns out that Sister Apple will also be smart.

"Although I found this, the kitchen is locked, and I can't climb the window for my size! When I didn't have an idea, I went around the kitchen door and thought of a way. Leng Buding looked up and saw that in front of him, the small pavilion that was half blocked by the rockery was blazing. ”

"My first reaction was, who is like me, hungry. Maybe make a fire and bake hot cakes, or set up a pot and cook a bowl of soup cakes. ”

Her voice began to tremble slightly: "Because I don't know each other yet, will I be abrupt by going over directly." So just take a light step and walk slowly. Take a look at the situation first, and then consider whether or not to say hello. ”

She glanced at me at this time, as if to make sure that I would suddenly mutate and give birth to three heads and six arms!

Then I saw how a girl was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, with her eyes closed, dressed in moon-white clothes. Surrounded by a circle of silver candles, I've never seen such a nice candle, hey! Where did you get that candle from? ”

This sudden question made me confused: "Huh? Don't interrupt, get to the point, and move on. ”

"Well, the key flame is not reddish-yellow, it's half red and half blue, and the junction is purple. By the way, this is what I learned at home in the dyeing workshop, red and blue can turn purple. ”

I only mentioned the corners of my mouth, the king who ruined the atmosphere of listening to the story: "Okay, I know, and then what?" ”

"Then there was actually a wind that night, and it was a sandwich road, and the wind that passed through it could lift the skirt, but the flame did not sway, and did not move. When I saw this, I was scared, and the more I tried to walk, the heavier my feet became. ”

She gasped: "When I look closely at my feet, I almost cry." The ground was covered with blood spots, from under you to my feet, such a large area was full of blood spots. The fishy smell was sour, it should be cat blood. ”

I was surprised: "Cat blood? ”

"Yes, my brother used to hunt a wild lynx, and he had a sour smell."

I couldn't help but grit my teeth.

"Then the cat's blood actually began to flow backwards, like raindrops falling back to the sky, like a red sword forest, to the sky!"

"I didn't hide fast enough, and I still got a few drops on my body. If the old clothes are still there, I will show them to you. Apple subconsciously patted its sleeve.

I must have chosen to get to the bottom of the problem and ask: "Is there a follow-up?" ”

"Where do you dare to look at it again, it's not a good luck. The next day, I saw that you were still a human being, until the guards of the official post carried us to the foot of the mountain in a carriage, and it was not long before you jumped off the cliff. ”

She finally dared to come closer and talk to me: "Did you fall for some evil spell that night?" I always think it has something to do with your amnesia, so I always want to ask you when no one is around. ”

Seeing that I didn't speak so quickly, she hugged her arms and said in a calm voice: "Hmph, maybe it's your own practice, and you did it yourself!" ”

"Apple, I...... I'm not impressed at all when you say so much, really. ”

I said gloomily, and looked at her sincerely enough: "Actually, I am also looking for the cause of my amnesia, and I understand that there must be something strange in this!" ”

"Ahem, I'm just too confused to figure it out. Although you didn't say anything about living tonight, I know that you must have a great credit, and I believe you! ”

"Huh? You're embarrassed to talk about winning? Really, it didn't help at all! ”

"Hahahahaha."

……

The jokes along the way did not pay attention to how many alleys the carriage had gone and made a few turns.

When I looked outside again and saw where I went, the carriage was slowly going up a gentle slope, and the ramp was extremely long, was it near the palace? I was a little excited, like when I was about to see the Forbidden City for the first time.

Looking at the road again, the rows of houses are already in full view.

The stars in the sky are really blinking, and this city is like a fairy tale.

The carriage stopped, and I just controlled my mood not looking in the direction of the palace, just to have a formal meeting with him at this moment.

After getting out of the car and looking for a suitable position, I slowly looked up.

At night, the tall bluestone palace wall is like an old man, mature and vicissitudes. The black terracotta tiles cover the top of the mountain, and the eaves fly into the sky. He is not as brilliant as the yellow glazed tiles, but he is more solemn.

Architecture is often also the materialized expression of the beauty that people yearn for.

We walked around the city wall and came to the West Palace Gate. It's useless to just look at the identity, and the one who opens the door is a waist card carved with dragons and gold.

He ordered the guards to pass on a woman named Aunt Su Xiao.

In this stoppage, Xiang Ye looked at the two of us with a slight smile and asked, "This palace official establishment, six bureaus and twenty-four divisions, almost everything in the harem, where do you two want to go?" ”

Sister Apple, no, no, people call Liang Xueyuan, and began to count her fingers: "Shanggong Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangyu Bureau, Shanggong Bureau." ”

When she was thinking, she either scratched her head or scratched her palms: "There are too many twenty-four divisions under this......"

And my attention had already been aimed at a point, and I said in unison: "Chef? ”

Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "You two are really childish temperaments. ”

Then he said seriously: "Children, it will be easier to do a lot of things in different locations, listen to the arrangement." He comforted him again: "When it comes to a certain time, the place of the Chef is not free to come and go!" ”

Well, but I just want to live a simple life, if I can taste all kinds of food every day - what a wealth in the world!

Ahem, the left minister is just a symbolic question, and then take the opportunity to do our ideological work. Where is our turn, we have to choose, and the real thoughts are muttered in our hearts......

The people in the palace may be used to being summoned at any time, and after a while, Aunt Su Xiao appeared in front of us neatly dressed.

She bowed to Xiang Ye, and although she was always smiling, she exuded a sense of seriousness. Xiangye said to me: "My aunt is also from your Liangsu County. Then I followed the example of an apple and said hello to my aunt.

"Then you can take the second daughter in, and it will be registered in the traffic bureau tomorrow, which is the household registration identity information of the two." Xiangye took out two booklets from his sleeve and handed them to Aunt Su Xiao, and by the way, the two packs of fine softness that I didn't know when I had prepared for us were also handed over by the hand of the entourage next to him.

The two of us hugged the big burden and waved goodbye to the Xiangye. The smile of Chengyun Gongzi is always a little happier than others.

The gates closed little by little, and their silhouettes shrank little by little, until the gates slammed, cutting off the outside world......

And my heart trembled violently.
