Chapter Eighty-Four: Midnight Terror
It is said that not long after Xiao Dingzi ran out, he came in with a plate with vegetables, a few steamed buns in his hand, and a tattered cotton coat on his body.
Nalan Lan'er looked at him in surprise and said:
"You're so cold, why don't you put on your cotton clothes?"
"Master, this is for you, how can I wear it!"
Xiao Dingzi is of medium height, thin and thin, always has a faint smile on his face, and has always been very kind, hearing what he said, Nalan Lan'er didn't feel warm in her heart.
Yes, the life of three people is much better than that of one person, but she really doesn't have the appetite to eat that meal, even if it is lost.
"Mother."
Wan'er saw Nalan Lan'er looking at the boiled vegetable leaves and the rice covered with small grains of sand, her face turned around, and she hurriedly called out to her, and said:
"Niangniang, you are so wronged, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the spirit to see the emperor? You know that in this cold palace, there are indeed many people who the emperor misses, but those who dress up carelessly become unable for the emperor to look directly after a few days, and the emperor can't take them out even if he misses the old love. ”
Wan'er seemed to be talking to herself, and carefully used chopsticks to pick out the sand grains in the rice, and when she saw a worm, Xiao Dingzi quickly turned around, and her face was still cramped.
Originally, he had already picked it out outside, but he didn't expect there to be bugs.
But even with this turn, Nalan Lan'er still saw the fat worm and didn't feel sick.
"Gott~"
Seeing that the master was unwell, the two hurriedly put the food on the table next to them, and Wan'er patted Nalan Lan'er's back.
I felt sick in my heart, but I couldn't vomit it out, and Nalan Lan'er only thought at this moment that she hadn't eaten much all day.
Even the ability to vomit has disappeared.
Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed, thinking that the path of life is always interesting, and no one knows where she will go next.
"Mother, if you don't want to eat, don't eat, wait until you're hungry."
Seeing Nalan Lan'er suddenly smile gloomily, Wan'er was shocked, worried that she would have another accident, so she asked Xiao Dingzi to take the meal away, pointed to the bed and said:
"Mother, why don't we go to bed and rest?"
Nalan Lan'er looked at the sky outside that was dusk just now, and now it was still night, and thought to herself, the so-called days are roughly like this now, it is better to rest early, and simply let the dream take away those annoying things.
So they went to bed, Wan'er and Xiao Dingzi lay on the table alone, sat on the chair alone, closed the doors and windows, and slowly waited for the night to come.
Slowly, the night was late, and Nalan Lan'er, who was asleep in a daze, was suddenly awakened by the bone-chilling cold.
An inexplicable panic rose in her heart, it was the darkness and crampedness of the storm, and she hurriedly opened her eyes.
I saw a light mixed with the wind rushing towards her.
The coolness of the weapon made her sober in an instant, and she reflexively picked up the quilt to block the light, and shouted loudly:
"There are assassins!"
With this shout, Wan'er and Xiao Dingzi next to him immediately woke up.
Through the bright moon outside, a tall man could be vaguely seen standing in front of Nalan Lan'er's window, he was probably startled by Nalan Lan'er's sudden awakening just now, so he forgot to exert his strength for the time being.
Wan'er took advantage of this gap, suddenly flew up and kicked towards the man unexpectedly, the man snorted, it seems that this kick is not small, he turned around and sneered and said to Wan'er:
"The queen said that she would not leave any of them, let you all be buried with her children, since you are so anxious, then I will take your life first!"
He spoke in a rather relaxed tone, and his movements were unusually smooth, with a series of legs and left and right hooks, although they slightly frustrated the man's arrogance, they did not pose the slightest threat to the man.
Nalan Lan'er curled up from the bed, ready to escape, she didn't dare to rush forward, because the man's knife was still very close to her position.
I only heard the man's evil shout, threw Wan'er to the ground, waved the knife and planned to land, at this critical moment, Xiao Dingzi, who had been watching from the side, quickly stepped forward to hold the man, and shouted at Nalan Lan'er:
"Mother, run!"
Nalan Lan'er saw that Xiao Dingzi and Wan'er were in danger, how could they run alone!
Seeing her hesitating, Xiao Dingzi hurriedly shouted:
"! You want to avenge the little dingzi! ”
As he spoke, he suddenly let go of the man, pushed Nalan Lan'er out of the door, and lay down at the door, blocking the man's only way out.
"Little Dingzi!"
Seeing that the black shadow swung a knife towards Xiao Dingzi, Nalan Lan'er shouted worriedly, and then hurriedly fled.
Before he had taken two steps, the man caught up.
Hearing the wind behind him, Nalan Lan'er thought that Xiao Dingzi must have lost her life, and the tears in her eyes were raging, if she still thought about death before, but now that she has no Xiao Dingzi, she has the responsibility of avenging him!
So we can't let him catch up!
But the road to the cold palace is winding, how can her speed be equal to the speed of a strong man!
Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, Nalan Lan'er ran forward desperately, and when she saw a palace with dim lights in front of her, she rushed over desperately.
There was a sudden sound of weapons intersecting behind her, but Nalan Lan'er didn't care about it, just ran towards the dim light, thinking that in such a desolate place, there was always someone connected with her, so it shouldn't be a big problem to save her life.
But the more she walked in, the more she could hear intermittent sounds, like sobbing, like singing, and Nalan Lan'er followed the sound despite her fear.
The palace here actually has two floors, the cry came from the upper floor, and the sound of the fight behind him was far away, and Nalan Lan'er walked slowly towards the attic.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the assassin behind her, and felt that the singing voice in the dark was so familiar, and she unconsciously followed her, as if she could understand her past.
As she walked, the song turned into a cry, and the second floor had arrived, and Nalan Lan'er walked towards the light.
The room here was much more spacious and clean than hers, and there were several candles alone, and there was a terrible light in every corner, and when you entered the door, you could only see the swaying white veil, hanging from the roof to the ground, and in the whistling east wind, you could dimly see a woman in white, sitting in front of the dresser, with her back to her, combing her hair in the mirror!
The long black hair, hanging down on the shoulders, between the white veils, looks so poignant!
Nalan Lan'er only felt a shrug in her heart, and was about to leave, but accidentally touched that door!
The sound of "squeak" is so harsh in the quiet night!
Worst! It's been discovered!
Nalan Lan'er clutched her chest and wanted to escape, but after seeing the woman turn around, she suddenly couldn't move her steps anymore!
She approached her step by step, and Nalan Lan'er realized that what she was holding in her hand was not a comb at all, she was just using her fingers! Her fingers were now covered with hair, her face was completely gray, and in the light, it was as terrifying as a ghost!
Her silhouette was not very clear, but Nalan Lan'er still felt a strange sense of familiarity!
"Hahahaha!"
The woman seemed to be staring at her as well, and after looking closely, she suddenly let out a crazy laugh, and when she was about to get close to Nalan Lan'er, she suddenly stretched out her palm!
The long nails instantly woke up the dumb Nalan Lan'er.
Seeing her yellow disgusting teeth, and the hideous expression on her face, the crows in the room alarmed by the harsh sound all flew away, Nalan Lan'er turned around and began to flee!
"Hahaha!"
The woman's eerie laughter completely shattered the silence of this midnight.
Nalan Lan'er walked down the stairs, and the woman followed behind her.
He also shouted:
"What are you going! Didn't you come to pick me up! Let's go together! ”
"Hahaha!"
"Hongu has finally waited for this day!"
"Hahahaha!"
The moonlight outside was not very clear, and the fear in her heart made Nalan Lan'er unable to see the road under her feet at all, she ran openly, and suddenly fell into the air, followed by a "oops", she fell to the middle corner.
The woman's figure was quite sharp, and she actually came to Nalan Lan'er the moment she fell.
"You devil! If it weren't for you, how could we be so miserable! You survived! ”
"Then I'll let you die again!"
Adjusting to the darkness outside the house, the moonlight also cleared up, and Nalan Lan'er saw the woman's appearance clearly, she was baring her teeth, stretching out her hands, and pinched her neck unexpectedly!
While pinching, a grim smile appeared on her face, and she suddenly became gentle towards Nalan Lan'er:
"How? What is the difference between the way you died this time and the feeling you felt last time?! ”
The woman's gentle voice, like a ghost, shocked Nalan Lan'er at all, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pick up the railing, but in this desolate place, where is there anything to rely on.
As her breathing became more and more difficult, Nalan Lan'er looked at the hysterical woman and shouted:
"You madman! Hurry up and let me go! ”
But the woman had a lot of strength, and she hadn't eaten for another day, where could she parry!
Seeing that the Venus was already beginning to emerge in front of her, the woman's face showed an evil smile, and she continued:
"Haha, what, don't you remember who you are?"
"You're ......"
Just when Nalan Lan'er felt that she could know her identity before she died, just when the woman was finally about to tell her identity, a voice suddenly came from behind her:
"!"
It was the man's voice, a little hoarse and depressed, and it suddenly rose in the harem, startling the woman to suddenly let go, and then she ran up.
Nalan Lan'er was shocked, she no longer had the strength to stand up, she asked suspiciously:
"Who is it?"
"Niangniang, it's me, I'm the one sent by General Yang Fei, you don't have to worry, I'll help you up now."
The man spoke in a very small voice, and his movements were also tiptoeing, and he gently went up the stairs and helped Nalan Lan'er on the ground up.
Nalan Lan'er followed the moonlight, looked at the eunuch's appearance was very loyal, as if there was a sense of intimacy, so she asked:
"Do I know you?"
