Chapter 140: Occasional Encounter with the Secret Room
Xue Yi's words obviously angered the masked woman, and the sword in her hand moved forward an inch and snorted coldly against Xue Yi's throat: "Hmph, are you a three-year-old child when you are an aunt?!" The one lying in the coffin was not Xiao Yichen at all! Say, where is the one who has no conscience?! ”
Faced with the masked woman's aggressive questioning, Xue Yi was puzzled, and then her mind turned sharply, is Xiao Yichen really not dead?! Thinking of the strange behavior of the girl in the feather dress, and the Xiao Yichen she saw was the handsome and almost perfect Xiao Yichen, but her Xiao Yichen was obviously full of scars and extremely ugly, once, Ji Wuyao reminded Xue Yi and asked her to test whether Xiao Yichen's injury was true or false, the husband and wife, Xue Yi had also secretly observed that the scar touched by the jade hand was indeed real!
First there was the suspicion of the feather girl, and then there was the question of the masked woman in front of her, Xue Yi had to wonder who the man lying in the coffin was.
Xue Yi's face was white for a while, red for a while, and blue for a while, and the woman saw that she had moved Xue Yi, and lowered her voice and said, "If you want to find out who is in the coffin, follow me!" “
The sword pressed on Xue Yi's shoulder, Xue Yi nodded, followed the masked woman out of the mourning hall, the two walked through the moon gate, and walked towards the last courtyard of the palace, not long after, the two stood by the green wall, the masked woman turned around and asked Xue Yi: "Do you know the mechanism to open the door of this courtyard?" ”
Xue Yi's eyes stared at the woman, her mind was turning, she didn't know the origin and origin of this woman, and she didn't know whether she was an enemy or a friend, if Xiao Yichen really cheated death, there must be a reason for him to cheat death, if he ruined his plan, then wouldn't it be too late to regret it?
A rooster crows in the distance, the jade rabbit sinks westward, and the moonlight is so lonely and cold.
"Say it! Where's the mechanism for entering the yard?! Don't you also want to know who is lying in the coffin? The woman's sword pressed against Xue Yi's neck again.
Xue Yi looked at the woman's impatient eyes, and she suddenly didn't want to know who was lying in the coffin! At least she didn't want to find out the facts under the coercion of such a strange woman of unknown origin, friend or foe, and Xue Yi slowly shook her head: "This is just a green wall, but the scenery of the palace, where is there any organ?" ”
"You're looking for death!" The woman's sword pressed down again, feeling that she was being teased by Xue Yi, and her eyes breathed fire.
Xue Yi stared at the woman's eyes calmly, and her voice was calm and cold: "You can kill me, even if you kill me, I don't know what mechanism this green wall has." ”
"Okay, I'll fulfill you!"
The masked woman pressed the sword down again, but it didn't stab into Xue Yi's body, and she asked again without giving up, "You really don't say it?" I don't want to know if it's Xiao Yichen's bastard lying in the coffin!?"
Xue Yi glanced at the masked woman and slowly closed her eyes: "Why should I believe you?" You don't even dare to reveal your true face, why should I believe in you as a stranger and doubt my husband?! Do it! ”
Silence, long silence.
Knowing the sound of the sword falling to the ground, Xue Yi suddenly opened her eyes, and saw Xiao Yu standing in front of him, protecting him with his tall body, Xiao Yi turned his back to Xue Yi and said, "Xiao Mou's escort is late, the princess forgives her sins!" ”
The woman saw that her left hand was holding her right wrist and staring at Xiao Yu, her eyes shot two angry lights, and then she glared at Xue Yi behind Xiao Yu, and flew up to the roof and disappeared into the night.
"Princess, you're not hurt, are you?" Seeing Xue Yi's body shaking, Xiao Yu stretched out her hand to support her, but felt that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly shrank back.
Xue Yi's face was pale, she shook her head slowly, and a wry smile appeared on her lips: "Escort Xiao, I owe you another life, how do you want me to repay you!" ”
Xiao Yu knelt on one knee: "The princess has never owed Xiao anything, if the princess really wants to reward Xiao with something, just listen to Xiao's advice, and take good care of her body from now on, and the princess will definitely be glorious for a while after entering the palace!" ”
Xue Yi smiled sadly at Xiao Yi's back, and said for a long time: "Xiao Huwei also said that it was a time of glory, since ancient times, the king is like a tiger, the five princes have love for me for more than one day, I am not a grass and tree, how can I not know, but the oath of life and death between me and the prince is still in my ears, and this throne should be our prince's, but it was taken away by the five princes, and I don't hate him for the sake of the old days!" Xiao Huwei, how can you make me do more to others, and be a person like the prince's enemy?! ”
Xiao Yu was speechless for a while, and suddenly burst out of a sentence: "The prince and the five princes are similar in appearance, why doesn't the princess treat the five princes as princes." ”
Xue Yi was waiting for Xiao Yan's words, she suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Yu and asked, "Xiao Guard, the prince is not dead at all, right?!" The current five princes are our princes, aren't they?! If my guess is correct, the prince is not injured and disfigured at all, and the reason why he is obscure is to ascend the throne under his false name today! ”
Xue Yi raised her hand and pointed at the green wall and said, "There is a young man locked up in this courtyard, and that man is the real Fifth Prince, right?!" Now it's the Five Princes who are lying in the coffin?! Our prince just wants to be a righteous emperor under the pretense of the order of the five princes, yes or no?! ”
In the face of Xue Yi's aggressive momentum, Xiao Yi sat on the ground, Xiao Yichen had told him more than once that Xue Yilan was kind-hearted, smart and wise, he had never been convinced, at this time, seeing that Xue Yi could maintain such a calm head in such great sorrow, he had to admire Xue Yi, and he didn't know how to answer Xue Yi's question.
By this time, the sky had already brightened.
Xiao Yu lowered his head in a hurry, and said sullenly: "It's not early, the princess should go back quickly, so as not to make the palace grandmother anxious and worried." ”
Xue Yi expected that Xiao Yi would not tell the truth, and she did not force it, if her guess was true, she and Xiao Yichen were married and tired, she would definitely find out the flaws, once she confirmed that what she guessed was true, she would definitely leave Xiao Yichen forever, and the palace and the palace would not be her place!
Xue Yi stared at Xiao Wei and said word by word: "Xiao Guard, you are entrusted by people to be loyal to people, how to say the truth or not, I will force you, and it will not make it difficult for you, I only have one sentence, I hope Xiao Guard will keep it in mind, if one day, I, Lan Xueyi, know the truth and learn that the current five princes are our princes, then I will definitely leave, if he wants to force me to enter the palace as a concubine, then blood will be splashed on the spot within three feet!" ”
Xue Yi leaned over and stared at Xiao Yu deadly, afraid that he would not be able to remember and repeat again: "No matter who the fifth prince is, I swear to die and never enter the palace!" ”
Xiao Yu knelt there, complaining bitterly in her heart, secretly scolding herself for being troublesome, the masked woman's words Xue Yi was already suspicious, and the words of her own advice just now were probably adding fuel to the fire, making her even more suspicious.
"Escort Xiao, please, I want to be here quietly alone." Xue Yi gave an eviction order to Xiao Yi with her back to her.
Xiao Yi didn't want to say more, kowtowed to Xue Yi, turned around and left.
Xue Yi only felt that her legs were weak and trembling, she was just strong and calm, but now she was alone, all the grievances, pain, sadness and suspicion came to her heart, and she only felt upset for a while, she stood silent for a long time, shaking her head desperately, as if she wanted to shake away all the troubles and sorrows, but her heart was chaotic and even more sad.
The hand fell on a dark green vine, and pulled it down hard, the green wall slowly opened, flashing out a small door that only allowed one person to enter and exit, Xue Yi walked in slowly, and it was a mess as far as the eye could see!
The three low huts were reduced to ashes, and the courtyard was still filled with a faint smell of soot, and Xue Yi covered her mouth and nose, and slowly walked into the ashes, through the broken ruins, and faintly discerned the furnishings in the house, and her eyes fell on the wooden bed that had already gone down.
Xue Yi struggled to move away the wood lying on the plank bed, and saw that a hole was exposed at the bottom of the bed, but the hole was narrow and didn't seem to allow people to enter or exit, so she still lay down on the hole and shouted: "Hey...... Is there anyone in there? All she answered was a buzz.
Xue Yi shouted three times in a row, and no one answered, she straightened up in disappointment and was about to leave, her feet were tripped by broken wood, a stumble almost fell, just when she was about to fall, her hands instinctively grabbed the railing on the side of the bed, and a squeaking sound sounded, and those broken wooden planks were automatically retracted, revealing a hole in the ground!
Xue Yi looked at the entrance of the cave, Tiro skirt down the stairs, she believed that someone had lived here, even if that person was no longer here, she would definitely find something, Xue Yi just walked down the stone steps, she was stunned in place, this place is not the same as she imagined, she originally thought that this was a simple secret room, which could accommodate one person, but she didn't expect this place to be like a paradise!
At this time, it is the weather of the new moon, when the north wind is cold, it is as warm as spring, not only the water is murmuring, and the fragrance of flowers is faint, there are some strange flowers that she can't name, into the flowers, there is a pavilion, there are tables and chairs in the pavilion, there are good porcelain teapots and teacups on the table, a folding fan lies quietly on the table, Xue Yi stepped forward, picked up the folding fan and opened it, and the folding fan carried the poems she had with the man that day!
Xue Yi became more and more confused, she held the folding fan, continued to walk forward, and walked for half a pillar of incense time, before she came to a delicate bamboo house, the bamboo house is still verdant, as if it is surrounded by green bamboo that is still growing, the low fence wall looks like a morning glory shape of small flowers are still in full bloom, Xue Yi stood outside the fence and called: "Is there anyone in the house?" Anyone? ”
For a long time, and no one answered, Xue Yi hesitated slightly, pushed open the fence door, walked into the small courtyard, had no intention of watching the scenery in the courtyard, pushed open the door of the bamboo house and walked in, the furnishings in the house are extremely simple, a bed and a bookshelf, the bookshelf is neatly placed with books, the rice paper on the desk is tiled, there seems to be ink in the inkstone, Xue Yi stepped forward, looked at the rice paper and was surprised, and couldn't help but grow her mouth!
