Chapter 18: The Gentle Wizard
In the imperial garden of the palace, flowers are blooming, Concubine Su and the newly entered the palace Hua Yingrong Concubine sit in a small pavilion, the table is full of all kinds of fruits and exquisite pastries, and there are two girls standing next to Hua Zhi and Bi Ruo. Concubine Rong said: "Biruo, golden cake." ”
"No!" Bi Ruo immediately sandwiched a piece of golden cake for Concubine Rong.
Concubine Su looked around, and a smile appeared on her face: "I heard that since you entered the palace, King Yong has not been in the early dynasty, it has been more than two months, and that old thing is still a little guilty about him, but now he hates it so much, and now King Yong and His Majesty can be regarded as a bond." ”
Hua Yingrong frowned slightly, and there was a faint hint of guilt in her eyes, and said: "He is indeed a very dedicated person, maybe I hurt him too deeply this time, and the eyeliner said that since I entered the palace, he has been drinking and having fun all day long, and he does not want to make progress." Besides, His Majesty is his own brother, and with what I know about him, he will not oppose His Majesty no matter what. ”
Concubine Su snorted coldly, and smiled maliciously: "This palace has let you get close to King Yong, and you have been in a relationship with King Yong for a while, what kind of lord is King Yong, don't you know?" ”
Hua Yingrong was silent.
Concubine Su sneered: "It seems that your Taoism is still not enough!" King Yong is not a good man, under the attraction of power, you will only become an excuse for him to rebel, when he stepped on your stepping stone to the position of the lord of the world, looking back, he will no longer remember the past with you, on the contrary, he will try his best to torture you, the betrayer who made him lose face. ”
Hua Yingrong was silent, and looked at the gorgeous flowers blooming in the garden, there are thousands of women in the world, and what she can make him remember about himself is perhaps only her betrayal of him!
Concubine Su said: "Therefore, power is the best destination for women, not men!" ”
Hua Yingrong retracted her thoughts, looked around cautiously, and whispered, "Liu Feng's side, what are your plans?" ”
As soon as Concubine Su wanted to say something, she saw Yueji walking briskly in the distance, saluted Concubine Su, and said, "Your Majesty has come to Suhua Palace, please go back quickly!" ”
Concubine Su looked dazzled and said with a smile: "Since you entered the palace, Your Majesty has been lingering in your beautiful palace, and I came to my Suhua Palace today, I'm afraid there is something wrong!" I'll discuss other things with you another day, otherwise Your Majesty will have a temper after waiting for a long time! At this juncture, there is no room for error. ”
Hua Yingrong got up and saluted, and watched Concubine Su leave.
"Biruo, let's go back to Xiuli Palace."
Hua Yingrong raised her hand and wanted Bi Ruo to help, but Bi Ruo didn't respond, she turned her head and saw Bi Ruo in a daze.
"Biruo, what are you thinking?" Hua Yingrong raised her voice and asked.
Bi Ruo reacted immediately, and when she saw her raised hand, she immediately stretched out her hands to support her, and said in a panic: "Please forgive me, Bi Ruo is distracted." ”
Hua Yingrong didn't mean to blame her, and said with kind eyebrows: "No need to be nervous, since you entered the palace with this palace, we have been serving you very well, our secret, now we don't shy away from you, you have also heard of it, this palace has long regarded you as a sister, if you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart." ”
It was the first time for them to discuss this topic in front of Bi Ruo in such a grand manner, Bi Ruo frowned, lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly looked up at Hua Yingrong with blazing eyes, and said, "You, are you going to rebel?" ”
Hua Yingrong saw a hint of horror in her eyes, if she knew that her master was not a mortal, wouldn't she be even more frightened? If you knew that you were already dead, wouldn't you be scared to death? Mortals are as timid as mice, thinking so, they couldn't help laughing, and said: "Biruo, what kind of monarch Your Majesty is, you also know, he has done nothing in the country, and the country is also guarded by King Yong for him." But he coveted beauty and robbed me of being a concubine, and Brother Yu was ruthless and unjust. How can such a ruthless and incompetent person be worthy to be the king of the proud country? ”
Biruo lowered her head and listened, but did not respond.
Hua Yingrong said again: "Besides, we are just yellow finch, we follow closely behind the praying mantis to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”
Bi Ruo said timidly: "Bi Ruo knows that His Majesty has separated you from King Yong, and you are unwilling to take revenge, but Bi Ruo feels, thinks that Concubine Su is not a good type, you have not known each other for a long time, can you really ensure that you can get out of the way?" ”
Hua Yingrong smiled, this stupid girl just didn't know that King Yong was just one of their pawns!
She said, "Biruo, you're too worried. ”
Bi Ruo nodded, and helped Hua Yingrong back to the Xiuli Palace.
While walking, I thought of the love between King Yong and his master in the past, as well as the grief and resentment of King Yong after learning that His Majesty had violated his master, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart.
If His Majesty hadn't robbed Concubine Rong, then she wouldn't have to be scared in the palace every day. I'm afraid that Concubine Su and Concubine Rong's plan will be exposed, and I am shocked that I will also be implicated, and the master is guilty, and it will be difficult for me to escape.
At dusk, Biruo carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the garden.
Tonight, Concubine Rong said that she wanted to take a rose bath, so she sent her to the imperial garden to pick fresh roses.
She walked, around a corner, and crashed into the arms of a man.
Bi Ruo looked up at the person, the person was very tall, two heads taller than her, delicate in appearance, elegant in temperament, wearing dark clothes, with long black and soft hair hanging down on his shoulders, his voice was gentle, and he asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Bi Ruo met his eyes, and his gaze was as gentle as water. Such a gaze has a feeling that makes people's hearts beat faster. She quickly lowered her head, shook her head to show that she was fine, and hurried to the garden again.
She looked inside the fence and saw pink and white cherry blossoms. This place she recognized as the back wall of the Wizard's Palace, the rumored haunted place in the palace. How powerful it is, she heard that it is the ghost of the sunken concubine who is not dispersed, and she always wanders in the backyard of that palace.
Thinking so, she saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and she was already afraid of the dark, so she hastened her pace to the garden.
The royal garden was planted with many famous flowers, and she found a sea of roses, which she picked by the light of dusk, and for two quarters of an hour, it was already dark.
When she passed by the Wizard's Palace, which was rumored to be haunted and now lived in a wizard, she was a little frightened, and walked more hurriedly, accidentally broke her foot, fell to the ground with a low cry, rubbed her palm on the ground and scratched the skin, and the rose petals that had just been picked for Concubine Su to bathe on the bamboo basket were also scattered on the ground.
Suddenly, a black object quickly flashed in front of her, and she didn't have time to catch off guard, and the back of her right hand was grabbed fiercely.
"Kuroko!" A gentle and slightly majestic voice shouted, and then I saw a man in black walking out of the side door of the wizarding palace, it was the man Bi Ruo bumped into just now.
Only then did she realize that it was a cat that had scratched her just now.
The cat jumped on his shoulder again with astonishing speed, and sat on his shoulder and looked at her condescendingly, its eyes glowing blue in the night, and it was terrifying.
This person actually came out of the wizard's palace, and Bi Ruo was still thinking about who he was, so he walked over to this side, squatted down and helped her up, his voice was still gentle, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Overnight, I met twice, and I still said the same sentence, what kind of fate is this?
"Thank you!" Bi Ruo withdrew the arm he was holding, picked up the petals scattered on the ground back into the basket, and was taking a few steps back, but he stopped him if he didn't want to, stepped forward and took out a small white porcelain bottle, and said softly: "Girl, the claws of the beast are not clean, it is better to take a little medicine." ”
He seemed to have a special magical power, and Biruo did not refuse, relying on him to hold his hand and sprinkle the medicinal powder on the back of his hand.
Is this powder so mild? I don't feel anything when I sprinkle it on the wound. She couldn't help but look carefully at the wound on the back of her hand, and through the moonlight, she could see that the wound was no longer red, as if it was a wound for two or three days, and it healed very quickly.
The man also clutched her hand tightly, looking at her wound with some surprise. Bi Ruo had never been touched by a man like this, and withdrew her hand shyly.
Seeing her shy, the man immediately realized that his behavior was rude, smiled slightly, and said, "I was a little surprised to see that the girl's injury was healing very quickly, so I took a few more looks, don't be surprised, girl!" ”
"Thank you!" Bi Ruo thanked him and strode back to the beautiful palace.
After Bi Ruo walked away, a man in a black hat suddenly appeared from the corner of the wall, looked closely at the direction Bi Ruo left, and said in a rather angry voice, "Where did the wild hooves come from!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, then turned around with a calm smile and said, "Concubine Su Niangniang is auspicious!" ”
Concubine Su ran over and put her index finger on his lips and said, "Okay, come in!" ”
With that, he slipped the man through the side door.
As soon as the door was closed, Concubine Su turned around, untied the hooded black coat, revealing a sexy corset, she stood on tiptoe, grabbed the man's neck, and said unhappily: "Ji Erchun, why do you want to talk to the wild hoof?" ”
Ji Erchun smiled: "My cat slipped out and scratched that girl, I just met it when I was chasing the cat, and I don't even remember what she looks like now." ”
Concubine Su's mouth pursed, with deep vinegar, and said, "You still medicine her!" ”
Ji Erchun didn't explain any more, and asked rhetorically: "What about your trust in me?" ”
Concubine Su knew that he wouldn't talk sweetly, so she said: "You are not allowed to be so good to other women in the future, now you have to compensate me well, I am right to the faint king one day, I want to go crazy when I think of you!" ”
Ji Er smiled: "I know." ”
In the shadow by the tree, Concubine Li leaned out half of her face and looked at the two with a sad face.
When Bi Ruo returned to Suhua Palace, the palace maids had already boiled a bucket of water, and Ah Xiu immediately stepped forward to take the basket and said, "You are finally back, Concubine Su has been waiting for a long time!" ”
Bi Ruo immediately followed in, only to see that Hua Yingrong was already taking a bath, with her eyes closed, enjoying it extremely much.
Ah Xiu sprinkled flower petals into the water, and Bi Ruo followed suit.
Hua Yingrong suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Ah Xiu will go down and rest first, just leave Biruo to serve here." ”
Ah Xiu glanced at Bi Ruo, answered the "no" and went out.
Bi Ruo always had a feeling that although Ah Xiu was the girl that Hua Yingrong brought into the palace, she didn't like Ah Xiu very much, and many times she took her without Ah Xiu.
Biruo poured scoops of water on her shoulders without stopping, and Hua Yingrong felt that she was wrong, if it was in the past, she would have asked if the water temperature was right and whether the petals were enough. On top of that, she smelled an unusual smell on her.
