XXVII. The Golden Needle of Darkness
According to investigation, Xu Zhaoyi made three concerts in a few days to ask for the martyrdom of the three princes.
Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty south of the emperor, adhering to the heart of leniency and benevolence to the people, there has never been a martyrdom system, so it has been rejected twice.
The third sonata, Xu Zhaoyi, had no choice but to take a step back, no longer asking for a living burial, and implored the Holy Lord to choose the daughters of the official family who had died a few days recently, and the best ones would be matched with the three princes and buried in the same tomb.
The prince will be buried in the coffin seven days after his death, and the saint who is in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing cannot personally send his own son, so he is ashamed, so he will send a grace to approve the **, which will be supervised by the queen.
The origin of the holy decree is detailed, and since I am the person who speaks the division, it is normal to call up the original file and check it out.
Between the lines of Xu Zhaoyi's words, I saw the urgency that this matter can only succeed and not fail.
The combination of words is also a kind of signal, which can completely reveal the state of the person who wrote it.
And now, there are still two days before the coffin of the third prince is left for funeral, but I don't know whose daughter can be elected.
Whether it is the "princess honor" or "tragic disaster", between luck and misfortune, I am afraid it is difficult to judge.
The apple god on the side came over mysteriously, and she usually didn't have the feelings of a little daughter, but her face was shy and rosy: "Xiaosu, you asked me that day, if there is anyone you like." I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but I've found that I'm quite chatty with someone, and besides, he doesn't seem to be the same to me. ”
I sneered, "Who's who?" ”
She bit her lip, and her round lower lip pouted: "Hmm~ You also know, the know-it-all Xiaozhi who sells goods in the dining room!" ”
"Oh? It's him. ”
Also, in Apple's social circle, the man who is most common every day is Xiaozhi. "What is different about you, you tell me to hear."
She pursed her lips and smiled again, the flesh of her cheeks growing upwards: "At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. I just went to him to buy some fruits, needlework, broken brocade and so on, and he always gave me a lot more. I refused a few times at the beginning, but it was not good to take more things from others. It's just that the next time I go, he still adds two more pounds to me. It's just that I am often alone, and he is often himself in this palace, helping each other. It's just like this, but I'm used to it. ”
Apple's eyebrows fluttered as she spoke, and that was the look that every woman once had.
She continued: "As the days go by, the more familiar they become. He can always talk about all kinds of things for a while, and once he even half-jokingly said that his aunt likes plump and strong women......"
The air was filled with the smell of happiness, so happy that I couldn't bear to interrupt.
The female officials in this palace, the palace laves, and the official maids. In the end, the marriage should be given by a high and powerful Lord, where is it possible to decide freely.
Or, your loved one can decide who you want to stay or not.
It seems that she doesn't understand these things.
I puffed out my cheeks and lowered my voice to the softest: "It's okay, if you two are united, you can start from now and plan the way out in the future." For example, which master in the palace will rule for you? However, the left prime minister's side has just sent us in, but I'm afraid that it won't happen overnight. ”
After listening to Apple, his enthusiasm instantly cooled. I don't understand that the problem she wants to solve the most - to properly settle her family - once again fell into the embarrassment of "this road is impassable".
But what I'm most afraid of is not this, but that she is really emotional about Xiaozhi.
The things that should be dealt with must always be done one by one.
After I routinely went to the Middle Palace to say hello, I followed the path and made a big circle before turning to the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
One of my greatest benefits in this house is freedom. Every day, I am alone and running errands everywhere, I am afraid that there is no one else.
It can also be regarded as seeking benevolence and reaping benevolence. If you want to do it, you must pay the corresponding price.
It's like choosing to go against the wind, don't complain about the many obstacles.
It is rare that there are no guards outside the Purple Cloud Pavilion, and the name on the door is deducted, and the communication is omitted.
After entering, I saw Wu Zhaorong in the courtyard training a young eagle.
She changed back into a bearded outfit, with tight sleeves and narrow shirts, and braided hair at one end.
"Hu people are more scattered", forming a slender and even loose braid, which not only feels smart and lively from the appearance, but also adds a sense of coquettishness and gentleness to the woman.
That's right, I like this hairstyle too.
Wu Zhaorong smiled and asked me, "Oh? Fan Nushi always seems to be quite curious about the appearance and dress of the palace. ”
I smiled and saluted.
She returned the salute and smiled, "I knew you would come." ”
Then he led me to the hall: "If there is anything I don't understand, let's talk about it later." ”
didn't wait for tea in the hall, and went straight to her bedroom.
Unexpectedly, she unbuttoned the high collar of her tunic in front of me, exposing her entire shoulder to my gaze.
She opened her teeth lightly: "I won't call you an official title." Little girl, since you always like to look at my neck, now I will look carefully with you. ”
The light through the window and the veil was dyed very softly at the moment, caressing her skin, white and delicate. Even if I'm a woman, I think it's beautiful.
I took two steps closer to see if it was the fat powder that had covered up the tiger's tooth marks.
No, except for the texture and vein, everything is traceless.
"Can you take a closer look? Now let me ask, why are you like that? ”
I smiled lightly: "Zhaorong, three months ago, I saw someone who looked exactly like you. Watching her from life to death, her fatal wound was on her neck. ”
Wu Zhaorong slowly sat down in front of the makeup table, buttoned up one by one in front of the mirror, arranged his clothes and braids, and said calmly: "That's my twin sister." ”
I stood behind her and looked at myself through the mirror. The shadows of the people who are not clear enough still show two clogged hearts.
"Actually, being able to live until the last few days is also her fate. In our Wu clan, twins have always been regarded as hoodoos, so there are conventions and rules. The twin wombs were left behind, and those born later were taken to the field to feed the wolves. ”
I raised an eyebrow: "And how did she survive then?" ”
"Actually, we Wu Shi knew that she was still alive three years later. It turned out that one of the midwives who delivered Eji was the wife of a fine worker sent to my tribe by another country. When they got the second princess, they brought it back to their country, which can be described as carefully cultivating and then inciting hatred. ”
Wu Zhaorong turned around and looked at me directly: "Therefore, my second sister, since she was twelve years old, has become a minion of the enemy country, and she has been fighting against my mother clan for many years, and there is a tendency to die endlessly. ”
I asked, "Do you know what her weapon is?" ”
"Two-handed scimitar. Her agility and paired with that rare pair of strange soldiers are a perfect match. ”
"Don't you ask her why she lost her life?"
Wu Zhaorong smiled disdainfully: "One of them, if you are willing to say it, you will know it to me." Second, I have already told Miss Xiao that the reorganization of my Wu's Gouyue Gate is imminent. It won't be long before all the unknown information of these four months will be found, and by that time, I will have all the information I know by heart. ”
I nodded. Her explanation at the moment is that there is absolutely the truth in it.
So I also took a sentence of the truth with her: "Zhaorong's previous question, I now have a word to answer - my doubts about you, the emperor also has." ”
Wu Zhaorong laughed: "It seems that the storm has risen suddenly in the past few months, and the sky has changed. ”
She turned her eyes to me, and I looked at her big Danfeng eyes from a bird's-eye perspective, reading about beauty and tenacity.
"Miss Xiao has actually changed. used to be eccentric and remote, intoxicated with Taoism, and it can be said that it was a trick to scare off half of the dozens of bandits in Liangsu County. Now it seems to be a mortal body that has lost all its skills and only relies on racking its brains to deal with it up and down. ”
I grinned and said, "Even if your so-called information about Gouyue Gate is too accurate, if you say that you know a person completely, I am afraid that you will not be able to exhaust it." ”
Wu Zhaorong stood up: "You still don't believe me enough." ”
Then she poured out two cups of butter tea from the stove beside her, and drank her one before handing it to me.
I followed her example and sat cross-legged on the white fox blanket.
She breathed hot air and drank heartily. Because of the food wrapped in his mouth, his speech was a little slurred: "Whether you admit it or not, I won't argue with you, but before you left for Beijing, you silently studied the method of soul exchange for two whole years, this is not wrong, right?" ”
There was a thunderbolt in my head, and my ears were ringing and I was dizzy!
How to change souls?
So my soul was transformed here by a witchcraft? So now, where did the soul of Fan Yusu in Liangsu County fly to?
My blood boiled with surprise, and there was even a faint burning on my skin.
And Wu Zhaorong glanced at my surprised look, but fortunately, she didn't know the reason for this crossing. So he comforted me and said: "Miss Xiao Su don't need to be surprised or worried, the so-called Taoist immortal arts are both good and evil, and you don't have to be afraid of the stigma of evil magic harming people." What's more, I hook the moon gate, and I have a set of Qingming style. ”
She patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no one knows about this." What's more, this level of Dao Fa, we only know its name. ”
When I was nervous, I often held my breath until my heart was beating abnormally, only to realize that I had forgotten to breathe for a long time.
I took a breath to make sure she said the rest of the story, and deliberately responded, "Ahem, you're right. I have studied too many advanced methods, but I have not weighed my own weight, and I have not tried to think about it. Because of this, he has repeatedly failed, not only hurting his Dao body, but also feeling depressed in his heart. ”
Wu Zhaorong finally smiled with satisfaction, and then said to me: "This is the secret of the joint that I claimed to tell you at the beginning. ”
"The method of soul exchange that you studied, I Gouyuemen also quietly found out about it from another person who studied it."
"This method is also known as lighting a silver candle, and the rest of the process is unknown. However, to find one of the links, the fire needed should be divided into two at noon on the day of the summer solstice, the longest day, and the fire should be taken at the most intermediate time. ”
I muttered, "Tinder? Zhaorong can know where the fire is taken. ”
She shook her head: "I really don't know. All the letters from the probe are here, and they have all been informed to the little girl. ”
Her eyes didn't show any weakness. Then Dan Feng's eyes smiled and the phoenix tail was tall: "Then now, is Miss Xiao willing to make some additions to my question?" ”
I also stretched my smile and talked to smart people, and the contest and pull must be said to be all the rage.
