Chapter Ninety-Five: Strange Man
When Coral saw Zhang Rongrong begging to see the king, she was a little nervous, just afraid that she would embarrass the iris, but soon the iris came out.
Coral rushed forward to meet Iris, but Iris waved her hand slightly at her and turned to talk to Ling You: "Father-in-law, over there, the star master, has the king been there, I have some things from the king here, and I want to send her some over." ”
Ling You thought that Iris was cowardly and afraid of things, but when he saw that she wanted to win over Geng Xing'er, it turned out that he was also a scheming master, so he said: "Last night, the king stayed at the star master's place, and he was afraid that there would be a reward, but you bothered to do it, master kite." ”
When Iris heard this, the doubts in her heart became even greater. Last night, Geng Xing'er already knew what he was going to lie, it seems that this person is even more powerful than Yueqi said. Coral helped the iris, and the two didn't say much, and returned to the other courtyard speechlessly.
"Sango, it's noon, and I want to find my hairpin." Iris is still worried about the lost hairpin, and for some reason, she still wants to go to that palace again.
"Master, is this hairpin really so important? Last night I saw that the king was very taboo about that place. Coral said with some trepidation.
Yueqi nodded, insisting on going. Coral couldn't twist her, so she had to agree, and the two of them disguised themselves, wearing the clothes of a maidservant, avoiding the subordinates in the other courtyard, bowing their heads all the way, and then they arrived at the abandoned palace. Coral learned the lesson of last night, and did not stand directly at the door, but stood a few dozen meters ahead, making it look like he was being reprimanded and punished
There was no one around, so he looked at it again and pushed open the palace door and got in. For some reason, the palace courtyard was extremely barren, but Iris did not feel afraid at all, and even made her more peaceful than bringing it with the king. And the familiar feeling here is much stronger than in the king's place.
The iris followed the trail of the night. However, no signs of hairpins were found. Unconsciously, he walked to the door of the dilapidated study again, and stopped for a long time. The ghost sent the gods, and Iris used a spell to break the thick brass lock.
Walked in. The roof tiles were missing a page, and the light leaked down and shone on the desk. Although the display in the room is old and dusty, everything must have been carefully arranged before you can see it.
Iris looked at the light, and there was a white jade porcelain bowl on the table that looked a little discordant, and the white fungus at the bottom of the bowl had condensed and dried up into pieces, perhaps because of the ashes, it turned blue-black. Iris looked at the bowl, then at the light above her head, and wonderfully the missing tile was facing the bowl.
Iris felt strange in her heart, picked up the bowl and put it under her nose and sniffed: "Put down the bowl!" A man's voice made Iris tremble in fright. I almost missed the bowl. Iris thought it was someone from the palace and hurriedly buried his head. The bowl was put back in its place.
"Are you looking for this?" The voice was crisp, as high and clean as a bowl of water without impurities. When Iris heard this, he raised his head, and saw that the man was thin, his skin was pale, his hair was scattered, standing at the door, with his back to the light, Iris couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that the body was very familiar, and the smell was no different from that of the king!
Look at the thing raised in his hand, it is the silver hairpin that fell from the iris at night. Iris didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she nodded and explained: "It was the slave who fell at some point." "Slave?" The man repeated Iris's words, looking her up and down.
"How do you get in here?" He asked.
Iris replied stubbornly: "The slave maid is a new palace maid, and she took the wrong road for a while, so she entered indiscriminately." ”
The man couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw the nervous appearance of the iris, and suddenly he walked in and sat down on the dusty chair. Before Iris could see how he had entered, the man had already sat down.
Seeing that the man was holding the hairpin handle, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Through the light, Iris saw his face clearly, and actually gasped! It is so similar to the king!
Before Iris could come out of his shock, the man asked, "How did you get this hairpin?" Don't tell me it's your own. Seeing that he seemed to recognize the hairpin, Iris did not dare to lie, and explained: "This hairpin was bought by the slave maid in an appraisal workshop before entering the palace." That's why the slave couldn't bear to let it be lost, and came to look for it. ”
When the man heard Iris's explanation, his eyes became darker and darker, and his hand was pinched directly and unconsciously. Iris was too frightened to speak, and her hand was already touching the box in her sleeve. "What is it?" With a bang, the nightmare box came out of the cuff and into the man's hand.
Iris was shocked, it seemed that he was not extraordinary. The man opened the box, put his finger in, and when he realized that the finger that had been put in was not in the box, he hurriedly withdrew his hand. Iris understood even more when he saw this situation, and it seemed that the man in front of him was just a wisp of soul. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where did the ordinary palace maid get such an object?" The man looked at Iris and said with a little playfulness. When Iris saw that he was just a wisp of soul, he was no longer afraid. stepped forward and took the hairpin from his hand, and just wanted to turn around, but remembered that the nightmare box was still in his hand, so he stepped forward to get it again.
Unexpectedly, the man shook his body, and the iris fluttered into the air, and fell firmly on the chair. The man couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. The iris fell, and even the iris pendant around his neck fell out.
When the man saw the lilac iris pendant, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Your pendant is weird and beautiful." ”
Iris was ashamed and hurriedly covered her chest. Unhappily, he stepped forward and took the nightmare box, and walked out of the study door to go out. The man was annoyed when he saw her, but he changed his previous look and hurriedly coaxed: "Are you kidding, what's your name?" As he spoke, he stopped the iris and stood in front of her.
Seeing that he was still quite clingy, Iris said helplessly: "My name is Iris." It's an iris essence, and now I'm a concubine in the palace, so let me go back first, otherwise others will see me and I'll be finished. ”
"Concubine?" When the man heard these two words, his eyes were suddenly full of loneliness. Go to the side and no longer stand in the way.
Seeing how quickly he changed his face, Iris felt strange and shook his head helplessly, and seeing that he had been delayed for a long time, he shouted at him, "I'll go first." After saying that, he walked to the palace gate, and looked back at the man, but saw nothing.
Iris rubbed his eyes, and then realized that he was long gone, as if he had never been. I didn't want to make a mess, so I quietly pushed the door out again.
The man was only then revealed, and when he saw that the iris came and went freely, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Hurriedly walked to the palace gate, but as soon as he touched the palace gate with his hand, he was bounced open. Suddenly he fell to the ground, and he had no strength...
