Chapter 40: Entering the Palace

Winter has crept in.

Although the sky was still blue and the sun was still bright, the cold wind made a sense of gloom permeate the imperial city. The leaves of the trees on the street had completely fallen, and the remaining branches were rough and cracked, adding a bit of depression to the air.

Stepping on the road to the palace in such a season, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that everything in front of her had become gray, just like the color of her mood, shrouded in gray worries.

The last time I entered the palace, it was purely an accident, and before I could react, I stayed in the palace alone. And this time, Jian Xiaozhu brought a big bag and a small bag, just like running to a distant city with a big bag after the start of college, hesitant and helpless.

Jian Xiaozhu touched the bag that was close to her, and what it contained was a few flavors of Chinese medicine that she and Zhang Tiande had prepared for Bai Ning Frost together, as well as some poisons she used to defend herself.

In that meeting with Su He, Jian Xiaozhu did not directly agree to Su He to be the internal response he had placed in the Frost Palace. After all, being an undercover agent is too tiring, and neither side of the wall grass is pleased. However, Jian Xiaozhu also revealed to Su He that Jasper was the one who fanned the flames for Bai Ningshuang.

Although Su He listened to Jian Xiaozhu's words, he didn't say anything in person. But Jian Xiaozhu knew that with Su He's temperament, as long as it was an unstable factor that would pose a threat to Su Moxue, he would find a way to make the other party disappear quietly. Bai Ningshuang is Murong You's favorite person, and Su He has nothing to do with her. But Jasper is just a little girl, as long as Su He wants to do it......

Although Jian Xiaozhu didn't want to hurt the innocent, she didn't have a pure heart of the Virgin. After all, she always remembered that the person who pushed her into the water that time was Jasper. Even, after she fell into the water, Biyu directly pressed her into the water and wanted her to drown. If it weren't for Murong Yi being called to the scene immediately by Ruyi, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Bai Ningshuang is not a good person, her blackening, in the novel, is caused by Jasper's fanning and the Empress Dowager's contempt and targeting.

When writing this novel, Jian Xiaozhu was still a high school student, and he only wrote Bai Ningshuang as a very bad villain to promote the development of the sadistic plot. And now, when Jian Xiaozhu entered this novel and got along with Bai Ningshuang for a long time, he found that although this person was a little jealous, a little evil, and a little evil, his nature didn't seem to be so vicious.

At least, put yourself in Bai Ningshuang's shoes and think about it, she has had an accident in her family since she was a child, and she has been reduced from the eldest lady to the singer of the Qinglou. His father was imprisoned for supporting Murong You's party, and he gave up the opportunity to escape for Murong You's humiliation and stayed in the Qinglou to collect intelligence. For the man he loved, he endured all the hardships, and finally endured the hardships to the end, but he could only watch Murong You marry another woman to be his queen, and he could only enter the palace as a contemptible concubine.

During the period of Jian Xiaozhu University, Bai Ningshuang should be the heroine of the counterattack in the popular Black Lotus series of novels.

Perhaps due to the influence of Black Lotus and vicious female counter-attack genre novels during college, Jian Xiaozhu did not have the same disgust for Bai Ningshuang as she did when she wrote the novel. Perhaps, this change in attitude is still what Zhu Yan said to her: Sister She is a very good person.

It seems that this is the second time I have thought of him after Zhu Yan left......

I didn't expect that after coming here, I had such a deep intersection with this cannon fodder villain.

In the novel, Jianghu Langzhong, who relieved Bai Ningshuang's hemp poison, was given the position of imperial doctor, entered the palace, and poisoned Su Moxue in the follow-up plot, but Su Moxue was saved by the shadow planted by Su He, and Bai Ningshuang's conspiracy was also exposed by the Queen Mother. Therefore, Zhu Yan went to assassinate the Empress Dowager in order to keep Bai Ningshuang, but was counter-killed.

Thinking of Zhu Yan's fate, Jian Xiaozhu couldn't help but worry about him. However, when I thought of Zhang Ruohe's fate was shattered by going to the river to find her. Therefore, Jian Xiaozhu also faintly hoped that Zhu Yan's fate would also be changed in the dark.

Anyway, because of her, that Lang Zhong didn't enter the palace. Then, the plot direction later in the novel may also change because of this. As long as Bai Ningshuang is fine, then Zhu Yan will not want to assassinate the Empress Dowager.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief. And outside the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came at this time.

Jian Xiaozhu lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that under the blue sky and white clouds, Murong Yi and Zhang Shanqing drove to the front of the carriage. The wind brought by the galloping horses caused the black hair tied behind their heads to flutter in the air, and their robes puffed up in the wind. The two of them had smiles on their faces and a dazzling glint in their eyes.

Fresh clothes are angry and high-spirited. The crisp sunlight fell on their faces and shoulders, making their smiles look warm and bright.

At this time, Jian Xiaozhu thought of a poem in his heart: Classmate Cha is young, in his prime, scholarly spirited, and scolds Fang Xuan!

However, Murong Yi doesn't seem to like reading much......

Thinking of this, Jian Xiaozhu smiled at the sun. And Murong Yi took the lead in driving the horse to the carriage and asked Jian Xiaozhu: "Xiaozhuzi, what are you thinking, so happy." ”

After that, he turned around and said to Zhang Shanqing with a smile: "Haha, Shanqing, I won this time!" ”

"Okay, okay, but the horse you rode was a thousand miles from the Tamur tribe to our country." Zhang Shanqing looked straight at the reddish-brown horse under Murong Yi's seat, and his tone was full of envy: "Why don't we change the horses and try again?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu thought that he had just walked halfway, Zhang Shanqing looked at a horse that Murong Yi had newly replaced, and proposed to have a competition, and the two started horse racing directly on the road and left in the dust. This made Jian Xiaozhu say to Zhang Shanqing: "Okay, second brother, isn't it naΓ―ve!" It's about to arrive at the gate of the palace, so don't toss around, what should you do if you bump into passers-by! ”

Murong Yi laughed on the side: "Yes, it's so naΓ―ve." ”

Unexpectedly, Jian Xiaozhu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him: "You are the same." ”

Murong Yi gasped: "Xiaozhuzi, you are talking like this, you are really mean, be careful not to marry." ”

Zhang Shanqing joked on the side: "If you can't get married, you can take this girl away." ”

Seeing Murong Yi's face flushed and stuttering, Zhang Shanqing smiled with satisfaction, looked back, but saw Jian Xiaozhu glaring at him with a murderous gaze.

Soon, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate. Jian Xiaozhu stepped out of the carriage and looked at the towering gate in front of him, and when the door slowly opened, he felt that the palace gate in front of him was like a monster with a huge mouth open. Even though the sky on the other side of the palace gate was still clear, Jian Xiaozhu felt that the road ahead seemed to be full of darkness that swallowed everything.

I really wanted to turn around and run away from this place immediately.

Just when Jian Xiaozhu was in place, hesitating. Murong Yi quietly walked to her side.

"I'll walk in with you."

Murong Yi's figure is tall, and walking beside him makes people feel very secure. This made Jian Xiaozhu suddenly realize that this person might be able to temporarily help her resist the darkness ahead, maybe not.
