Before dawn, I was caught in a chaotic nightmare.

I saw a woman hanging from the walls of Kyoto.

Just a thick hemp rope tied her and hung her, and when the evil wind blew, it swayed with it. Her lips were chapped and covered in blood. Her eyes had lost their brilliance, and she only looked at the land silently.

The homeless merchants in the past all pointed at her, full of laughter and abuse, why not ask for mercy.

In this situation, I can't help but grit my teeth. This bite, the pain in my teeth piled up until it fell into the sea, and I couldn't overcome myself and woke up suddenly.

I gasped and sat up, brushing the hair covering my face with both hands, "Ahem, I gritted my upper teeth again, and I was fighting myself." ”

Many times, whenever he doesn't sleep well, he almost crushes his teeth.

But who the woman I saw in the dream was, I thought back at the moment, but I didn't remember anything.

At this time, Gong E stumbled to my bed: "Fan Nushi, go and see Niangniang." ”

I was surprised: "What's wrong with the concubine?" ”

Gong E looked anxious: "Niangniang was sent to the Smoke Wind Hall by the emperor at the fourth watch, and the maids just got the letter, only to know that it was because the third prince had a high fever, and he kept babbling in his mouth, and he also said 'Qingluan Palace eats toads and eats people'." ”

I rolled over and got out of bed, and quickly dressed and combed my hair.

"Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"The person who came to pass on the mother only said that the emperor summoned him, and nothing else was revealed, so the concubine didn't think so."

Oh, I feel like something is going to happen.

The two of us strode towards the Smoke Wind Palace, Xu Zhaoyi, who was once a role to be used by others in my heart, and at this moment I began to change my opinion.

It is false to say that I have no regrets, and once again I take the complexity of human nature lightly, which makes me a little chagrined.

Entering the Smoke Wind Palace, what came to my face was not a tense and anxious atmosphere, but a strong smell of vinegar. I walked all the way from the front hall to the back yard, and I saw three or four pots boiling vinegar and smoking the hall. At this moment, it has really become a serious one-smoke wind hall.

The emperor has gone to the court, and in the backyard of the three princes' bedrooms are Zhou Guifei with dark circles under her eyes and Xu Zhaoyi with tears rippling.

The little concubine looked a little stunned, I don't know how much she has been reprimanded in the past few hours.

When she saw me, she put her hand over and said "You're coming, and tears rained down."

I hurriedly hugged her and comforted, "Don't cry, it's okay." It's just something to eat, so it's not scared like this. ”

I handed over the work of wiping my tears and beating my back to Gong E, and then walked to the bed of the third prince to say hello to Xu Zhaoyi.

Xu Zhaoyi in front of her is a tall woman with white skin and yellow skin, like a tree lacking nourishment, without much charm.

I invited myself to sit on the edge of the bed of the third prince and tell a few stories about Ultraman's immortal body to explain. However, Xu Zhaoyi was unwilling, covered his mouth with a veil, and cried bitterly: "The emperor is frightened by you, and now the people in Qingluan Palace don't want to touch him again." ”

"Okay, okay, Zhaoyi Niangniang don't cry anymore."

Two steps away from the bed, I observed the appearance of the third prince, and saw that the little face was pale, but the lips were bright red. According to the medical officer, it was also accompanied by convulsions from time to time.

However, suddenly, the third prince opened his eyes from the coma, sat up, and said to Xu Zhaoyi on the side: "A-Niang, why is the toad so big, I'm afraid ......"

Xu Zhaoyi thought that her son was awake, and was going to hug him with a happy face, but the situation took a turn for the worse, and she was still sitting and talking well, but suddenly her whole body fell into crazy convulsions, her hands and legs kicked wildly, and the muscles of her whole body were disordered and out of control.

The convulsions went from fierce to slow, everyone was stunned, I took two steps back in shock, but Xu Zhaoyi, who pounced on him, didn't dare to touch him.

The third prince kicked off the quilt, kicked his heel on the sheet twice harder, and then his body stiffened, staring at his big empty eyes, and he didn't move.

Everyone gasped and trembled. The distortion of his body was like a helpless cry, who had ever seen an intact life enter such a hysteria, and after releasing the only energy, everything came to an abrupt end, like a treacherous farce.

Everyone walked forward, trying to find out the unknown answer in bed.

Xu Zhaoyi sniffed at the medical officer before he rushed in from outside the hall, and the tremor of her fingertips spread throughout her body. A wail only passed before his throat came out, and the whole person fell back in a daze.

A group of palace ladies picked up Xu Zhaoyi from behind, which was too busy for the Imperial Medical Department, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to rescue them. I saw that the Imperial Physician Ling looked at the eyelids of the third prince, and took the pulse again, and after some tossing, he could only shake his head.

The three princes from the moment they stopped moving. The body remained in the same position, his expression distorted and his whole body stiffened.

The open mouth can no longer be closed, and the dilated pupils are bottomless black holes, boundless fear......

I closed my eyes tightly, unwilling to look any more.

Anyone who looks at such a posthumous theory will have nightmares.

Regret has been created, and I am afraid that it cannot be reversed. Although Xu Zhaoyi must be anxious to seek justice, I also know that the concubine is innocent, and I must not let more people suffer misfortune at this moment.

Thinking very quickly made a fire blossom in my mind.

With such an outrageous fact in front of me, I just find it incredible. It's obviously a dinner where everyone is fine, why is it such a tragic result. Even if you see a peeled bullfrog and cry for a while, it is an angry and sad cry, which has little to do with fright!

The concubine was so frightened that she couldn't even straighten her waist, and hid behind me and secretly looked at the bed.

She is a bold person, but in the face of the fall of life, in the face of magnified guilt, she is silent.

She spoke with a crying voice, "Xiao Su, Xiao Suo, San Lang is really gone?" ”

As soon as I mustered up the courage to pull Zhou Guifei out, I walked out: "Let's go back to the palace first." ”

The concubine, who was already at a loss, let me drag her out, but she also looked back as she walked: "Is it really okay to go back?" ”

"It's our responsibility, we recognize. It's not our responsibility, so why bother to stand there and fall into the truth. ”

When I came out of the backyard, I took a deep breath, one to cheer up, and the other to taste the fresh air. I really don't know if the harm in this smoked wind hall is not a cold, but why is the old vinegar boiled in all directions......

The first thing I did when I came back was to call the nurse of the concubine to ask how it was last night.

Grandma Liu is also a solid person, but she was confused when she was asked.

"What's so special about this? Holding the child back to the Smoke Wind Temple, I was angry and noisy along the way, and I kept shouting that we ate Ultraman's brother. What else are you talking about? ”

Grandma Liu suddenly paused: "By the way, I remember coming to the door of the Smoke Wind Palace, and angrily said to go to the aunt who was meditating in the temple, and ask him to tell the gods about this, so as to punish us!" ”

"I just covered my mouth and laughed, I was really angry, and I wasn't happy. A short little man, but he has a lot of ideas. ”

I frowned: "Nothing else?" Didn't see anything along the way? ”

Grandma Liu spread her hands: "This night light is on, what else can be new about walking on the familiar night road." ”

I nodded, and instructed all those present at yesterday's dinner not to think too much, but to ask questions from above, just tell the truth, and never be suspicious.

But Zhou Guifei was in a daze beside her, and a few words popped out for a while: "He said I was a jealous woman." ”

Then wiped a tear with one hand: "That's it." Then he didn't say anything more, just tilted the incense and fell asleep with his clothes closed.

Let her be quiet and quiet, it is useless to be more relieved at this time, I tell the palace lady in the dormitory to take good care of her, and not to leave her alone.

Glancing at her calm appearance, I slowly stepped back from the curtain.

At this time, everyone was burning, but the doorman came to spread the word, and Wu Zhaorong came to greet the concubine Niangniang Chending.

The head of the palace took a leave a few days ago, and Grandma Liu is not a person in charge, and now the concubine's spirit is declining, and I have suddenly become the one in charge of the overall situation.

The idle clouds and wild cranes are like me, so I don't fit in.

Originally, I wanted to refuse for the concubine, saying that I was not sick. But the person who came was Wu Zhaorong, and this temptation was really a bit big, so he only responded: "Hurry up, please." ”

Wu Zhaorong took off his beard today, and changed to a daily full-breasted skirt. In addition to the jacket, he wore a sable shoulder, and he actually wore a mix and match.

When she saw me looking at her fashionable appearance, she smiled first: "Mortal women don't want to laugh, Kyoto is cold, and I don't have to ride a horse, and I can't get used to wearing your short jacket and jacket, so I have to make do with it like this." ”

I smiled secretly and greeted her: "Good morning, Wu Zhaorong, please." ”

I led her into the main hall to take a seat, and she had left the two palace ladies who were with her outside the hall and entered alone.

She pushed the tea away and asked if she had any mare's milk tea.

Her directness surprised me a little: "Zhaorong, this flavor still needs to be freshly made in the tea room, please wait." ”

I beckoned Gong E to take another taste of milk tofu, and said with a smile: "Today, the concubine Niangniang suffered some misunderstandings, and now she is mentally exhausted and uncomfortable to sleep." I don't know what Wu Zhaorong is doing, but I can tell the lower officials, and I will tell you. ”

Wu Zhaorong's eyes darkened: "No, I'm not here to find the concubine, I'm here to find you." ”

I smiled in surprise: "Come to find the lower official?" ”

She nodded heavily: "Yes, I'll get straight to the point." ”

She stepped down from her seat and sat down beside me, almost whispering, "It is better to invite you privately than to visit you directly." Besides, what I did was also the first time that the concubine was lucky, and she paid homage to the middle palace and the concubine. ”

I just nodded, "Yes, you go on." ”

"Before I entered the palace, the entourage and I had been preparing for several months, and since I had learned about the people and things in this palace in advance, I could be regarded as knowing everything in my heart. The youngest adult who has achieved the Seven Qualities of Classics, how could I not know that your portrait has actually been included in the book a long time ago. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, with the ancient stick figure line drawing, can you really tell who is who?

Seeing that I didn't believe enough, she continued, "I naturally have my own reasons and methods for understanding you, and it doesn't really matter if you say this. In conclusion, I would like to say that I am sure you can help me! And I, too, can help you! ”

I raised my eyebrows: "What does Zhaorong want the lower officials to do?" ”

Gong E, who came to serve mare's milk tea, was full of eyesight, and left in a hurry when she saw the situation. Wu Zhaorong took a sip of the cup, felt that the temperature was suitable, and drank half a cup.

After smashing his tongue and tasting the aftertaste, he said: "The emperor was not really lucky to me last night." I'd like to ask Fan Nushi to help me find out why. ”

I sighed, took my eyes away from her, and spilled towards the door: "Why does Zhaorong think that the lower officials are willing to help?" ”

"Because ......", she put her voice mysterious and determined.

"Before entering the palace, I can help Miss Fan Yusu find the answer to the puzzle in her mind......"
