Chapter 129: Wu Yuan
Under the rain curtain, everything in the palace became a blur. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. Li Qingmu held an oil-paper umbrella painted with lotus flowers on the top of her head, and Yao Yuan held an ink-colored one on one side to block her body, but the clothes on her body were still soaked in the rain.
The little palace maid took Li Qingmu and his entourage of five people to turn left and right on the passage of the imperial garden, passed through a long corridor, bypassed a rockery, and finally passed through the dense flowers and trees, and came to a palace.
Li Qingmu looked up and found that the hall towering in the rain curtain had three floors, and the vermilion door was closed, and there was no window to see. Above the third floor, you can faintly see a platform.
The little palace maid turned back to Li Qing and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, this is Wuyuan." ”
The voice of the little palace maid came through the rain curtain, as if it came from a distance, and there was a sense of unreality.
Li Qingmu listened to the sound of rain in his ears, pointed to the palace and said to the little palace maid, "Say it there." ”
A group of six people hurriedly walked under the rain eaves of the temple to avoid the invasion of the heavy rain.
Holding the oil-paper umbrella in front of him, preventing the rain from falling on his body, Li Qingmu turned around and asked the little palace maid, "Here, not the front door of this palace." ”
"Back to Mrs. Zhaoyue's words." The little palace maid was soaked all over her body, and she was holding her shoulders and trembling at this time, "There is a pond in front of this Wuyuan, it is raining today, and the stone bridge above the pond must be very slippery." In order to ensure safety, the slave maid will take you through the back door, and I hope that Mrs. Zhaoyue will forgive me. ”
Li Qingmu nodded after hearing this, and did not delve into it. glanced left and right, and asked the little palace maid again, "Aren't there any other palace people?" Do you want to let the main palace go in and check it out for yourself? There isn't even a palace maid here who sweeps the dust on weekdays? ”
"Mrs. Zhaoyue, there are palace maids here on weekdays." The little maid replied, "They must have thought that the slave maid would take you through the main gate, and they were all waiting at the main gate." When the temple is not in use, the back door is rarely opened. Slave maid, slave maid will go over and report ......"
The little palace maid wiped the rain from her face, raised her umbrella and just wanted to take a step, but stopped again. She turned to look at Li Qingmu, and said with a pale face, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, please forgive me, slaves are born afraid of water." Can you let others ......?"
Li Qingmu understood it when he saw it, no wonder the little palace maid in front of him was far away with them all the way, why didn't she go to the bridge.
Although she was angry because of the rain in her heart, this little palace maid was the person beside Queen Qin after all. Li Qingmu turned back to Yao Yuan and said, "Yao Yuan, you go." ”
Yao Yuan replied to Li Qingmu, raised the ink-colored oil-paper umbrella and stepped into the rain curtain, and walked towards the flowers and trees.
After Yao Yuan left, the five people standing under the rain eaves no longer gossiped, and could only hear the crackling sound of raindrops hitting everything.
A cool breeze blew, and Li Qingmu hugged his shoulders and shivered. Her clothes were already soaked, all on her body, and when the cold wind sent her, it was cold to her bones.
The little palace maid saw Li Qingmu's face pale from the cold, and she confessed to Li Qingmu with a panicked face, and then pointed to Cai Xiang and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the weather is cold, it is better to let this sister go back and help Mrs. Zhaoyue take dry clothes." If it freezes for a while, the slave and maid will be guilty of greatness. ”
Before Li Qingmu could speak, Cai Xiang shook his head and said, "You took us so many detours when you came, and now I can't find my way back." ”
Besides, it's still raining so heavily.
"Well, so be it, the slave maid will take this sister back to get her clothes." The little palace maid glanced at the fine rain curtain, and her face showed embarrassment, "Mrs. Zhaoyue is here for a while, and after a while, someone from the palace will open the door from the inside and let Mrs. Zhaoyue go in to check." ”
Seeing that Cai Xiang looked reluctant to go back to the rain, Li Qingmu smiled. In the end, let Xiao Ningzi and Man Yu go with the little palace maid. In addition to carrying clean clothes, bring a hand stove.
After the little palace maid took Xiao Ningzi and Man Yu away, only Li Qingmu and Cai Xiang were left under the rain eaves.
Cai Xiang looked at the three people who walked into the bushes and disappeared, and said to Li Qingmu, "Princess, the queen is obviously difficult for you, and the slave dares to say that the palace where she and Mrs. Yu went must not be as barren as here." ”
"It's just hard for me." Li Qingmu hugged his shoulders and hid behind the pillars, looked at the rain curtain and joked to Cai Xiang, "Wait for me to go and sue the emperor and let him give me my anger." ”
Cai Xiang Wen said in a slightly mean tone, "Princess, if the emperor is willing to be angry for you, the queen will not send you here on this rainy day." This is clearly to see that you are not favored, so you are allowed to do all the hard and tiring work. ”
"yes, I'm not favored." Li Qingmu sighed, and said in a resentful tone to Cai Xiang, "Cai Xiang, you said that the face of this princess can be regarded as a flower and a moon, why can't the emperor see it?" ”
"Princess, if you push the emperor out a few more times, you will not be able to see the emperor even if you are a heavenly immortal."
In fact, what Cai Xiang wants to say is that who made you not fall red on your wedding night. If you don't fall red, you won't have it, but the princess still has a huge temper and dares to bombard the king of a country.
"You girl!" Li Qingmu was not annoyed, and took the rain and threw it on Cai Xiang's body, "How can you grow other people's prestige and destroy your own ambition?" ”
Cai Xiang knew that Li Qingmu was not angry, so she smiled back, "In terms of majesty, the princess is the only one in this harem, and you are definitely the first one who dares to bombard the emperor." ”
Li Qingmu thought about it, bent his eyes and smiled.
With a "squeak", the door of the temple opened from the inside.
Li Qingmu had a smile on his face, and secretly said that he was so careless, he actually forgot the old saying that the wall has ears, and said some nonsense with Caixiang.
The little palace maid who came out of the hall raised her head and glanced at Li Qingmu and Cai Xiang, and after walking out of the sixth hall, she blessed Li Qingmu, who was relatively gorgeously dressed, and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the slave maid is the sweeping palace maid of this Wuyuan. At that time, when he received that Mrs. Tong Legend was coming, the slave went to the front door to wait, not wanting Mrs. Zhaoyue to come from the back door. ”
As he spoke, he stood by the door of the hall and said to Li Qing, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, it's cold outside, please go inside to take shelter from the rain." ”
"The whole palace is just you, a palace maid who sweeps wine?" Li Qingmu asked while lifting the hem of her wet skirt and walking into the hall.
"Wuyuan has a total of sweeping eunuchs and eight palace maids. Because they heard that Mrs. Zhaoyue was coming to check, they went around to hold the lights, leaving only the slave and maid here to guide Mrs. Zhaoyue. The palace maid replied respectfully, "Mrs. Zhaoyue is careful under her feet, the Wuyuan is very large, and the back door is not yet in charge." ”
Li Qingmu sighed and walked towards the darkly lit hall.
The hall was extremely dark, and there was a strong smell of dust. Li Qingmu struggled to open his eyes, and could only vaguely see the outline of the hall.
When he saw a whole strip of dust hanging down from the beam not far from him, swaying with the breeze, Li Qingmu was suddenly startled in his heart.
This is clearly a temple that has been abandoned for many years!
She just wanted to turn back and question the palace maid, but she heard a scream of incense picking, a 'clang' sound, and the door of the palace was closed.
The entire hall was plunged into darkness, and only a faint light could be seen faintly through the temple door.
Li Qingmu's face turned pale, she turned around and groped to find Cai Xiang, and only when she heard Cai Xiang's small moan, did she put her heart down.
She thought that she had been poisoned.
Cai Xiang fell not lightly, and his right wrist hit the ground when he fell to the ground.
When she touched Li Qingmu, Cai Xiang endured the sharp pain from her wrist and said, "Princess, there is something wrong with that palace maid!" The slave saw that there were gray stains on the corners of her skirt, and just as she wanted to ask what was the matter, she pushed her in. ”
Li Qingmu helped Cai Xiang up, thought about it carefully, and said, "Not only does she have a problem, but the palace maid who brought us here also has a problem." ”
"Pain, pain......" Cai Xiang suddenly screamed, "Princess, don't touch the slave's wrist, I'm afraid it will break ......"
Li Qingmu hurriedly loosened his arm and asked, "Don't dare to move at all?" ”
Cai Xiang was so painful that he was in a cold sweat, biting his lip and saying, "When you hold your breath, it hurts as soon as you breathe." ”
Even in this environment, Li Qingmu couldn't help but laugh at the alternative way of describing incense.
Hearing Li Qingmu's chuckle, Cai Xiang was annoyed, "Princess! ”
Li Qingmu coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I won't laugh anymore." ”
With that, he stretched out his hands and touched the door of the temple, where there was only light. When he touched the temple door, Li Qingmu understood why the light passing through the temple door was elongated.
The doors of the temple were sealed with planks, one after the other, from the bottom to the top. She shook the heavy temple door a few times with her hand, and from outside came the sound of iron chains shaking.
Li Qingmu slapped the door of the palace and yelled twice, "Let the palace go out!" When did you appoint you, aren't you afraid that you will be punished with death when the palace goes out? ”
After shouting several times in a row, Li Qingmu stopped and listened to the door of the palace.
Outside the door, there was the sound of rushing rain, and nothing else.
Cai Xiang's wrist hurt so much that he waited until Li Qingmu stopped shouting, and said to Li Qingmu, "Princess, since they locked you in, they won't let you out." It's useless to shout no matter how loud you shout, so don't shout. ”
"How can you do it without shouting?" Li Qingmu shouted twice harder, then walked back to Cai Xiang's side, and said, "Don't they just want to see me panic after being locked in, and then shout?" It's better to do what they want......"
Cai Xiang suddenly cried bitterly, her voice was very harsh, and Li Qingmu, who walked to her side, trembled in fright.
"Picking incense, this place is already gloomy, you cry and look like a haunted."
"Painful ......" Cai Xiang choked and sobbed, "Princess, the slave's hand may be broken." ”
Li Qingmu touched Caixiang's side and said to Caixiang, "I'll show you, you bear with it." ”
"Can you see it's so dark?"
"I can touch ......" Baidu sister-in-law|wonder|pen|Ge Yingfei's heirloom phoenix leads the country
In the wolf crying ghost crying of incense, Li Qingmu touched his hand to Caixiang's swollen wrist.
After pressing it carefully, Li Qing said, "It's not broken, it should be twisted to ......."
As he spoke, he took off his saree, tore it into strips, and hung Caixiang's arm around his neck.
In this process, the cry of incense picking never stopped.
When the last knot was tied by the faint light, Li Qingmu gritted his teeth and said, "If you scream again, I will strangle you." ”
Cai Xiang choked up, "The slave is also waiting for you." ”
