Chapter 710: It's harder to get in than to ascend to the sky
Although Bao Xiaoer helped, Bai Qianfan was not without a little gain, his neighborhood boss was transporting water in the palace, if he could let the old man smuggle her in, wouldn't it be fine? But the problem comes again, if this kind of thing is not done well, she has to lose her head, why should the old man help her?
Her identity is not easy to expose, life-critical matters, and it is not good to force people to agree, Bai Qianfan thought for a long time, and found Fuchengmen by himself, Fuchengmen is specially used for water trucks, coal trucks, dung trucks, etc.
Bai Qianfan stood behind the tree, looking at the mule carriages, as long as she could hide in one of the carriages, she could be taken into the palace, she waited until it was dark, quietly drilled into the convoy, and heard a guard at the gate of the palace shouting: "Who is that, what are you doing sneakily?" As he spoke, he carried a lantern and shone it over.
Bai Qianfan didn't expect him to see him, he simply stood still and didn't move, and she didn't do anything, so she couldn't arrest her without asking.
The guard came over and shone a lantern on her, "What are you doing?" ”
"Passerby."
"Is this the aisle? Tell me, what are you doing? ”
"Look at the excitement."
"Go and go, see what's the excitement," the guard waved her away, "I lost my head when I saw the excitement, why don't you do it?" ”
Bai Qianfan lowered his head and slipped away.
She thought that there were many people who were so easy to fool around, who knows, a little guard can be so sharp-eyed, she walked out of the long distance before turning back, looking at the bright lights at the palace gate, sighed secretly, and then looked at the towering palace wall, the vermilion color was not clear in the night, but there were suppressed beasts on the wall, teeth and claws, looking hideous, dutifully guarding the forbidden palace.
Bai Qianfan remembered that when she came out of the palace, she once sighed that she should never go in again, because the forbidden palace was like a prison pet, not free, and too complicated, not the environment she liked. But now, she tried every means to get in, but unfortunately, it was easy to get out, but it was even more difficult to get in than to climb to the sky.
——
The forbidden palace in the night looks quiet and peaceful, in the forest behind the West Five Institutes, there is a small house, there are some flower hoes, dustpans, brooms and other tools in it, there are many trees here, shade and shade, usually few people come during the day, but there is a little faint light in the house tonight, but there are trees all around, even if someone passes by the flower path outside, they can't detect it at all.
There was a little golden candle lit in the room, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, and a man sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a wooden bowl in his hand, and in the bowl were some dark things, like hair, and some other things, which he pounded with a short wooden stick, but did not make a sound, until they were pounded into powder by him.
There was a wooden bowl at his feet, and in the candlelight, it was bright red blood. He poured the powder into the blood bowl, cut his finger with a knife, squeezed a drop of blood into the bowl, and stirred it again until it was foaming.
He looked at the bowl of strangely colored things, put his index finger in it, dipped it in the liquid and roasted it on the candle for a while, then quickly pressed it to the center of his eyebrows, and then released it, and a bright red fingerprint was printed on the center of his eyebrows.
The finger print was like a bright red mole, it was slightly glowing, and in the faint light, the man's deep facial features rolled like waves, changing sharply, if anyone accidentally saw it, they would definitely be frightened by this strange scene.
The man seemed to be in pain, sitting upright, but his hands were clenched into fists, drops of sweat the size of beans were on his forehead, and his temples were bulging high on both sides.
When the light was at its peak, the change stopped, and he became a different person entirely, he gasped twice, slowly opened his eyes, took the bronze mirror on the side, looked at it carefully, and touched his face with his hand, and seemed to be very satisfied.
The light of the red mark between his eyebrows gradually dimmed, and when the light disappeared, the red mark also dissolved between his eyebrows, as if it had penetrated into his body, and he changed back to his original appearance, picked up the bowl of bright red paste, picked it up with his hand, and ate it little by little.
——
In the Chengde Palace, the emperor tossed and turned, seemed to be trapped by a nightmare, sweating profusely on his forehead, and suddenly a person sat up, and the little eunuch who was on duty at night outside immediately ran to the bedside and asked, "Long live Lord, what do you want?" ”
The emperor sat in the bed, and his voice was deep, "Bring water." ”
"Yes," the little eunuch responded, and quickly poured water from the glass jade cup and handed it in.
The emperor drank a few sips of water and slowly calmed down, only wondering why he had such a ridiculous dream, and was stunned for a while before lying down.
——
In the side hall of Ci'an Palace, Princess Wuyang's bedroom is scented with the fragrance of Youlan, there is a palace maid standing at the door, and there are layers of curtains falling next to the bed, Princess Wuyang is sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at Ruzhu nervously, Ruzhu is also sitting cross-legged, her face is pale, her forehead is sweating profusely, a snow-white arm is exposed, look carefully, there is a small pimple on the arm, sometimes fast and sometimes slow walking under the skin.
Half a sound, the little pimple didn't move, Ruzhu opened his eyes, stabbed the silver needle in his hand, and a little black blood came out, the size of a bean.
Princess Wuyang lowered her head and licked the little black blood, and let out a low breath, looking very satisfied.
Ruzhu wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Black Eagle has done a good job, as long as we can survive until that day, the matter will be done." ”
Princess Wuyang said, "Bai Qianfan has already escaped, the sooner this happens, the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Now that the Black Eagle is in trouble, I have to find an opportunity for the Emperor to hold a big wedding early. ”
"Are you sure?"
Princess Wuyang's eyes flickered, "Yes, success or failure is in one fell swoop, and after completing the task, we will have a way to live." ”
Ruzhu sighed, "Actually, how about completing the task, I still suffer from the incense Gu." ”
"For Nanyuan, even if you die, it's worth it." Princess Wuyang's face was firm, "The cursed fate cannot be passed down from generation to generation. ”
Ruzhu was silent for a while, "I didn't expect Bai Qianfan to run out of Nanyuan." ”
"I also think it's strange, General Lan obviously planted a fragrant Gu on her, how could she still let her run away?"
"General Lan's incense Gu is not a problem, it is incredible that she can get rid of the control of the high priest."
"Yes, she was the first to awaken at the hands of the High Priest."
Ruzhu smiled bitterly, "This is probably God's will." ”
Princess Wuyang thought for a while, "She is so powerful, maybe she has already arrived in Lin'an, let the people outside the palace pay attention, and arrest her immediately once she finds out, and don't let her enter the palace to harm our affairs." ”
"I know, I'm going to get the word out."
"The emperor didn't know if he was suspicious, so he changed a few guards."
"It doesn't matter, the guards can't go into the bed, they can't find anything."
Princess Wuyang snorted, "This couple is not simple, we can be regarded as opponents." ”
Ruzhu gently held her hand, "Believe in yourself, you are the best person with a thousand faces." ”
