Chapter 12: Pretending to be a Bride
That day, after she and Hao Tianlin separated, they traveled around the mountains and rivers, and suddenly one day it rained heavily, and she went into a cave to take shelter from the rain.
After a long time, she suddenly heard two people outside, she looked over to see that it was Hua Yingrong, who had chosen a concubine and helped her in the garden, Hua Yingrong took a handkerchief to wipe the rain on the body of the woman in the black dress beside her.
The woman wore heavy makeup and painted her thin eyebrows and tail to the sky, which looked a little fierce, but it was indeed beautiful and quite imposing. Qiao Zimei took a closer look, in the dark, her eyes were still green, she frowned at the slender flying eyebrows, and also wiped the rain on her body with a handkerchief, her voice was shrill and impatient: "It's really troublesome!" In order to go back to the old place to get immortals, I got wet all over! ”
Hua Yingrong only cared about helping her wipe her body, and did not speak.
After a while, Empress Zun's face softened a lot, and asked, "Yingrong, how did you do that?" ”
Hua Yingrong replied with a smile: "After returning to the court, Yingrong has won the trust of the prince. ”
Empress Zun nodded with satisfaction: "Well, among the demons, what I value the most is you, both beautiful and smart, unlike your sister, whose head seems to have been caught by the door, I have to like those mortals!" ”
When Qiao Zimei heard the word "demon", she hurriedly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound, these two women are goblins?
"Who's in there?"
But unfortunately, Qiao Zimei's smell was smelled by Empress Zun, and Empress Zun slowly walked to the depths of the cave and found her hiding inside.
The eyes of both goblins and ghosts can see in the dark, and Hua Yingrong also recognized the female ghosts that appeared in the Yongwang Mansion and Miaoyin Hall.
Empress Zun spit out a long blood-red letter and licked the saliva on Qiao Zimei's face.
Hua Yingrong knew that Empress Zun wanted to eat her, so she immediately stopped her and said, "Empress Zun, she has appeared by King Yong's side many times, and she may have a lot to do with King Yong!" ”
"Really?" The Empress glanced at Qiao Zimei with a smile.
In order not to be eaten, Qiao Zimei hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes!" King Yong is unkind, I am waiting for an opportunity to take revenge! ”
Empress Zun's sharp and slender black nails gently swept across Qiao Zimei's face, and said, "Since it is a woman who was once abandoned by King Yong, even if she has a heavenly posture and national color, what is the use?" ”
Hua Yingrong said: "Queen, there is a person who is familiar with King Yong to help us, why not?" ”
Empress Zun sniffed the female ghost, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!" ”
Hua Yingrong said happily: "Yes, Queen!" ”
Empress Zun thought for a while, opened her palm, there was a wooden box floating in her palm, she handed the wooden box to Hua Yingrong, and said, "Let her try, if it is successful, you can give it to him, otherwise there will be side effects and make him sad." ”
Hua Yingrong nodded obediently: "Yes, Empress Zun!" ”
The queen explained well, twisted her plump belly and left.
Hua Yingrong asked Qiao Zimei: "What's your name?" ”
Qiao Zimei said indifferently: "What are you going to do to King Yong?" I'm not going to help you! ”
Hua Yingrong smiled, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and floated away like a gust of wind, so fast that Qiao Zimei couldn't open her eyes, and soon arrived at the flower house.
"And then I was locked up here for both days." Qiao Zimei finally said.
Hua Mantian listened to what Qiao Zimei said, and wondered in her heart, she thought that her sister approached King Yong to teach her a lesson, but now it seems that her sister will approach King Yong only after being instructed by respect, why did her sister save Qiao Zimei? What exactly are she and Queen Zun planning?
Qiao Zimei saw that she was calm, and said, "I'm done with what I should have said." ”
Hua Mantian said: "I have been with King Yong for four years, he has treated me very well, we have long been like brothers, the queen does things despicably and shamelessly, always cruel to living beings for no reason, my sister is instructed by her, what she does must be hurtful to the heavens and reason, I will go to King Yong's Mansion with you, and give this matter to him, but you can only go to see King Yong, don't ask me why." ”
After Hua Mantian finished speaking, he suddenly picked up a teacup on the table, cast a spell to turn it into a ghost the size of Qiao Zimei, and cast a spell to cross the ghost breath to it, and the fake ghost sat on the bed, with his head buried in his knees, not moving at all.
Immediately, Hua Mantian took her out of the wing, and then locked the soul enchantment under the round cloth in the wing, and quietly left the flower house together and flew to Yongwang's mansion.
It was late at night, Hua Mantian hid a demonic spirit, put Qiao Zimei into the bag, and hid from the two Pixiu in front of the mansion, she asked Qiao Zimei to find King Yong alone, but she went to Hao Tianlin's wing outside, and wanted to take a sneak peek at him, but found that there was no light in the room, pierced the window paper, and there was no one inside, he should still be working in the yamen.
Just as she was about to leave, two girls happened to pass by, and Hua Mantian hurriedly hid under the tree.
The girl Qiushuang glanced at Hao Tianlin's room and said, "Qiuye, look, Manager Hao has moved to the mansion given by the prince, tomorrow is a good day, and they are all going to prepare for marriage!" ”
Qiu Ye looked like a gossip and said in a low voice: "I heard that the reason why Xia Chun was able to marry Manager Hao was because of a trick!" ”
Qiushuang was surprised: "What do you say?" ”
Seeing that there was no one around, Qiu Ye still lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, the medical workers on Dr. Hong's side have spread all over the place, saying that Xia Chun used it...... Charming medicine! ”
"Wow!" Qiushuang's eyes widened, not daring to imagine, "It's really fake!" I can't see that Xia Chun is still a ruthless person! ”
Akiba sneered: "Hehe, isn't it? Just like her, if she doesn't play some tricks, can Manager Hao take a fancy to her? ”
Qiushuang shook her head in shock: "Tut-tut! ”
The two drifted apart.
Hua Mantian suddenly understood that Hao Tianlin was forced to marry Xia Chun! Her heart instantly cleared again.
Hua Mantian found Qiao Zimei in front of Ling Zixuan's wing, and it was also dark in the wing.
They went to Miaoyin Hall, but found that Ling Zixuan's wing room was also dark, he left Hua Yingrong for the night, and at this time he was holding Hua Yingrong into sleep, they didn't see them hugging them on the couch with their own eyes, it was Hua Mantian who smelled his sister's smell.
Hua Yingrong also knew that her sister had come to the door and smelled Qiao Zimei's smell, so she smiled, remained silent, and continued to lie down.
At this time, there was no other way but to wait for Ling Zixuan to be alone before he could tell the matter.
They wandered on the street for a while, and Hua Mantian couldn't hold back, and finally pinched their fingers and cast spells, and found Xia Chun's residence.
At No. 15 Muyong Trail, they stood in front of this simple thatched hut, and the lights in front of the house were very festive.
She tried her last effort to persuade Xia Chun to give up marrying Hao Tianlin.
"This is ......"
Qiao Zimei just wanted to ask her what kind of place this was, Hua Mantian's eyes were red, and before she could finish speaking, she said, "Hao Tianlin will marry her tomorrow!" ”
When Qiao Zimei heard this, she said happily: "Brother Hao is getting married?" ”
Hua Mantian didn't want her to be so happy, glared at her, and said angrily: "It's a pity that I married a scoundrel!" ”
Qiao Zimei turned from joy to worry: "Scoundrel? ”
So, Hua Mantian told the whole story, and Qiao Zimei also felt worried about Hao Tianlin after hearing it: "Brother Hao, he is a good person. ”
Hua Mantian snorted coldly: "Hmph, good person? Foolishness! ”
They hid into the house, only to see that the room was full of congratulatory gifts from Hao Tianlin, relatives and friends were busy making pastries or chatting and drinking tea, they entered Xia Chun's boudoir, Xia Chun may have been too tired, and fell asleep on the bed in a wedding dress.
I only heard a knock on the door outside the room, it was Xia Chun's mother: "Girl, we are going to come in and sprinkle rice grains and lotus seeds on the bed, you open the door." ”
Xia Chun probably fell asleep and didn't respond.
The people outside the room knocked a few more times: "Girl, girl!" ”
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed outside the window, Hua Mantian seemed to have guessed something, and immediately went over to flip Xia Chun's body, only to see that Xia Chun had five slender scratches on his neck, which went deep into the blood, and a bed of bright red blood flowed, and he was already dying!
Qiao Zimei was startled and said, "It seems to have been injured by animals such as cats and dogs!" ”
The rival in love is dead, Hua Mantian is not so-called happy, although Xia Chun's means are despicable, but she may really be deceived by love to do this kind of thing, although it can't be forgiven, but it is not a sin to death, a young life is alive, and it is strangled like this, this is the horror of demons and monsters, you can take a person's life casually.
Qiao Zimei said again: "What kind of grudge does this murderer have against Xia Chun, to be so cruel?" ”
Hua Mantian thought about it and shook his head.
The voice of the person outside the room became anxious: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" No more sound, and we're banging on the door and coming in! ”
Hua Mantian looked at Xia Chun's corpse, made up his mind, pinched a trick and lay down on the corpse, slowly blending into the corpse, and then, the corpse was resurrected.
"You ......" Qiao Zimei watched her actions and knew that she was going to use Xia Chun's skin to stay by Hao Tianlin's side.
Hua Mantian looked down at the big red wedding dress on her body, brushed the scratches on her neck with her right hand, her neck suddenly returned to its smooth and flawless appearance, she hid the blood stains on the couch again, and then said: "Since Hua Mantian can't stay by his side, then I will accompany him with the help of Xia Chun's body." ”
Hua Mantian said, it seemed that he was not yet used to the new body, his brain was dizzy for a while, and Xia Chun's fragmentary memories kept flashing in his mind.
"Bang bang!" Friends and relatives outside began banging on the door.
"It's coming!" The fragmentary memories in Hua Mantian's mind were immediately stopped by the sound of the door being slammed, and she muttered, got up and went to open the door.
Relatives and friends outside the door were full of nervousness, and they asked her why it took so long to open the door.
Hua Mantian smiled: "I'm too tired, I just fell asleep." ”
Relatives and friends immediately pulled her out to sing, this is the custom of Mu Yongcheng, the night before a woman gets married, she has to sing and chat with relatives and friends before she can go to rest and wait for marriage.
Qiao Zimei watched the smiling 'Xia Chun' being welcomed out by relatives and friends, she was finally able to marry her beloved, but unfortunately, she used someone else's skin, and her beloved may never know who she really married.
When he was about to leave the room, Qiao Zimei suddenly felt a sharp gaze on the windowsill, and looked over, there was a big white cat sitting on the windowsill, and the cat was looking at him arrogantly and coldly.
Cat demon? Could it be her? Qiao Zimei thought in her heart, she didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly followed everyone out.
Early the next morning, with the sound of trumpets, gongs and drums and firecrackers, a team of greeting relatives came to greet the relatives in an uproar, the handsome and dashing Hao Tianlin wore a red robe, wore a bright red top hat, rode a reddish-brown high-headed horse and followed a team holding a greeting plaque, the team behind him carried an eye-catching big red sedan chair, followed by a large group of musicians and entourage, many pedestrians stopped to watch.
A: "Whose family is marrying a daughter-in-law?" ”
B: "I heard that it is the head of the guard of the Yongwang Mansion!" ”
C: "I married a girl from Old Man Xia's family." ”
A: "You see that groom is really good-looking, that girl is really good-looking!" ”
C: "Not really! That girl was originally a girl in King Yong's mansion, but now she can be regarded as flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix! ”
B: "According to me, you have to go to the house of the official and noble to do it, and if you don't get into the blessings of the noble, how can you know when you can become a nobleman!" Hahaha! ”
A C: "Hahaha......"
The sedan chair stopped in front of the Xia family, Hao Tianlin got off the horse to pick up the bride, the happy bride helped the flower with a red hijab to go out, and the sedan chair boy got off the sedan chair, Hao Tianlin carefully helped her to get on the sedan chair, and a firecracker sounded and sent the bride away.
Qiao Zimei stayed incognito in Xia's house all night to accompany Hua Mantian, and at this time she also followed the sedan chair, floating all the way to accompany Hua Mantian. The wind blew the curtain by the window of the sedan chair, and through the thin red hijab, she saw the two red lips in the sky curled up, smiling sweetly.
Qiao Zimei secretly thought: This stupid girl......
