Chapter 1: Getting down to business
In an abandoned courtyard of the palace, Hua Lan shrank in the corner, shaking her slightly swollen head while looking at a square translucent virtual screen that suddenly floated in the upper left corner in front of her.
This translucent virtual screen appeared when she opened her eyes.
"What the hell, I crossed by myself and was lucky enough to see the appearance of the system?"
Hua Lan is a fan of novels, and she has read many novels in the hanging system, such a familiar scene, but she has dreamed of it thousands of times.
But what's going on?
People are walking on the road to pick up wallets, what the hell is she, but she looked down at her mobile phone, and she was bumped into this ghost place.
What's going on?
Hua Lan felt a pain in her chest, the moonlight was cold, and there was a slight coolness blowing, with a strong smell of blood. As soon as she stretched out her hand, a dagger was stuck in her chest, and blood was oozing out.
Looking at himself again, the style of clothes on his head and body is not the lady's dress he wore when he went out, with a narrow waist and a narrow skirt, without any clothes, it is obvious that she is an out-and-out little palace maid.
Ouch, what about a good image?
What's so special, aren't people crossing over all princesses, princesses, nobles or something? The script is not so bloody, why am I a little palace maid, director, the baby is bitter, this gap is too big, right?
Hua Lan stared at the translucent screen in the upper left corner in front of her with her eyes, feeling that her physical strength was gradually exhausted.
A slightly green progress bar appears on the screen, showing a number of 3% and five large words above it: "System implanted!" ”
No way? I've been here for almost half an hour, why does it show 3%? Comrade system, wake up, don't sleep, human life is at stake, it's too irresponsible, I'm dying now?
Hua Lan gasped weakly, leaning her body against the palace wall, she had already heard and witnessed the system arrogant and cold, the most important thing at the moment was not to care about these, it was important to save this little life first.
She shrank in the corner of a palace wall, and there was a rockery in front of her.
The rockery is so shattered that it is too dark to see the true face of the stones, and there are constantly fluttering cobwebs hanging from the weeds on it. The moonlight casts on the desolation, and the smell of blood fills the air, and this is a garden that has been deserted for a long time.
"It's strange that the smell of blood here is so big?"
Although her physical strength was weakening, because of the systematic spiritual support, Hua Lan still stood up against the palace wall.
There were no flowers in the garden, and a stone path snaked among the long grass half a man high. There are two figures in the shadow of the stone path, looking at the costume, one seems to be a palace maid, and the other seems to be the master, looking like a dead man who has lost his breath.
What's the situation, Gong Dou? Assassinate? Palace change?
Hua Lan's brain made up all kinds of scenes, and suddenly her heart was bored, and the severe pain made her have to sit down.
Curiosity is precious, and small lives are more valuable.
She had to give up the curiosity in her mind for a while and solve her little life first.
Among the weeds in the rockery, there are many weeds to stop bleeding, Hua Lan's ancestor once worked in the Tai Hospital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the medical family has a family history. After a few glances, he found a few small thistles, a lot of which were still chewing in his mouth, and began to deal with the dagger on his chest.
The part of the dagger is not deep, and it doesn't look like someone else did it, but it looks like he stabbed it in the heart, and his body is weak because of excessive blood loss.
"I can't think of it, summon me!"
Hua Lan crossed her eyes, lifted her dress and tore a few strips of cloth, and looked at her chest with a sigh of relief.
Pulling out the dagger must be fast, steady and ruthless, otherwise it is easy to go into shock and die due to excessive blood loss.
Hua Lan had just been gasping for breath for less than an hour, so she naturally didn't want to hang up so soon.
She cleaned the wound, held down the herbs to stop the bleeding, and pulled out the dagger violently.
The herbs were timely, and although the blood kept gushing out, it stopped.
Although, she almost fainted from exhaustion.
Fortunately, there is still consciousness in my mind, and I survived.
The novel is not wrong, and sure enough, the heroine will have an incorruptible body of King Kong.
Hua Lan quietly leaned against the palace wall for a while, feeling that the energy in her body was gradually gathering.
She wrapped the wound in strips of cloth and looked up at the translucent screen in the upper left corner.
The green color of the progress bar has increased a bit, showing that it has jumped to 6%.
Hey, it's probably hopeless to expect the comrades of the system to come back to life and save the United States or something, according to this slow progress, not to mention what system there will be, it will take a few days to implant it.
Hua Lan crossed her eyelids and held up the trembling hill in front of her.
Don't say it, this body is to her liking, not to mention what it looks like, just this forward drum and backward tilt makes her a little more confident. Thinking about the previous airfield, my mind is much more balanced.
The desolate scene in the garden stirred up a thick smell of blood, and Hua Lan had to draw her eyes back to reality.
What will be the identity of the woman on earth?
She shook her head hard, trying to find out what was going on from the original owner's memory.
Probably due to excessive blood loss, the original owner's mind was empty, and there was nothing.
Look again and see if there are any major discoveries.
Hua Lan looked at the tall and majestic halls around her, shrunk and searched all over the garden, but found no one except the two female corpses lying on the ground.
It seems that he and the little palace maid on the ground are related to this unidentified master.
The master was killed, and the palace maid knew that her life was not guaranteed, so it should be natural to choose suicide. Although, it feels a little weird.
The garden leads to the outside is a moon gate, and Hua Lan quietly hides by the door to look out.
This is a courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time, and judging by the size of the side halls of the main hall, there must have been very prominent people living in the past. It is a bit unrealistic to say that this is a cold palace, because the scale of the palace is still very magnificent. Although it has long lost its former grace and brilliance, it is lifeless, mottled with dust and cobwebs, but it still can't hide the noble grandeur and magnificence of the past.
It doesn't seem to be anyone's habit.
Hua Lan searched the dusty halls, but found no signs of human habitation.
It seems that these three people broke into here in a panic and were assassinated.
Hua Lan returned to the two female corpses, crouched down to examine the wounds, and found that both of them were fatally stabbed. The wound is straight to the point, fast and accurate, ruthless, and there is no deviation.
This killer is very professional.
Could it be that someone wants to usurp the throne and there is a rebellion against the palace?
If it's Gong Dou, although it's a place that has been abandoned for a long time, there will be people who smell blood and find corpses, isn't this obviously exposing themselves, who would be so stupid?
Hua Lan thought for a few seconds and came to a conclusion.
There must have been a palace change.
It's not a chase, no one can run here in the middle of the night, run anywhere, simply run to a place where there is an emperor, isn't there a better chance of survival? Anyway, isn't there a Praetorian Guard, a Royal Forest Army or something?
Hua Lan touched her chin, and her eyes kept shifting between the two female corpses.
Ouch, it's terrible, if there is a palace change, is your life also in danger?
What can I do, this is the palace, how long can a lowly little palace maid hide, she doesn't even know the gate of the palace.
What can I do, it's the right thing to do if I find a way to escape first.
