Chapter 628: Longqing Old Things
The eldest princess opened her eyes wide, her eyes slightly lost her mind, and aimlessly threw towards the hall that was gradually engulfed by the night.
After a few moments, she coughed lightly twice.
The damp musty smell and the dust stirred up by Fang Cai's action made her throat a little uncomfortable.
So far, this is the only voice made by the eldest princess.
Everything was too fast.
It's so fast that people don't have time to speak, or even have time to think, only to feel in a trance that maybe it's just a dream.
She froze.
I was so frightened by an absurd, terrible and ridiculous dream that I almost lost my soul.
The eldest princess raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and coughed lightly twice.
There was a itch in the throat, as if dust was sticking to it.
She lowered her head, and a few strands of hair fell down and hung down on her chest.
Habitually, she touched her sleeve.
Empty.
In an instant, she came to her senses.
"Old Dog Wei!" She gnashed her teeth in the dark, and her voice was dry and hoarse, barely like it came out of her mouth.
She scolded Mama Wei.
Mama Wei has served her for many years and knows many of her habits well, for example, she must know that the eldest princess has a short sword hidden under her sleeve.
The dagger followed the eldest princess for many years.
It became her habit to learn to ride and shoot at a young age, and after the death of the first emperor and the struggle for hegemony among the kings, she carried a weapon with her to protect herself.
Since Emperor Yuanjia ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xiao personally asked for a holy message, and the old habit of the eldest princess of the Great Chu Dynasty has continued to this day.
The eldest princess tugged at the corners of her lips and laughed silently.
She's still slacking off in the end.
Not to mention early, even ten years ago, when she encountered today's events, she would never enter the palace unsuspectingly.
Now, she is finally honored by this glorious and respected day, and her "gentle and ordinary" good royal brother has worn off her sharpness and dullness.
As a result, it is easy to make a fool of yourself.
After thinking about this for a lifetime, the eldest princess closed her eyes, and the feeling of frustration and tiredness came to her at this moment, as well as the pain in her body, which was also unbearable, especially in her shoulder.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth again, and chuckled.
Those people just now really put their strength into the dead, they didn't have any scruples, they didn't seem to know at all, what they were dealing with was the most noble woman in the Great Chu Dynasty.
There is no fear at all.
And this one "shou", except for Emperor Yuan Jia, there is no one else.
"No wonder, even Hou Yuxiu helped with acting." The eldest princess murmured, stretched out her arms, and thumped her shoulders a few times.
The blow of slamming open the door was the heaviest, and by this time, her shoulders were almost unconscious, and her legs and feet were weak.
Now she has no courage to gallop on a horse back then, but she is just a noble lady with a little more strength, why use so many manpower to deal with her?
Two healthy women are enough.
The eldest princess sneered at the corners of her mouth, and simply sat on the ground, not caring that the ground was very dusty, and with her movements, another cloud of dust was raised, and she coughed again.
This dilapidated palace is probably where she will be staying tonight.
Emperor Yuan Jia, he treated her very "kindly".
The eldest princess grinned to herself, and although she no longer laughed, her smile did not dissipate.
If you change someone else, you will be terrified at this time, and you will be terrified and frightened.
But the eldest princess didn't feel this way.
She was numb
Dumping, framing, plotting, setting up a situation, in the imperial city, such things happen every day. The big ones will bring disaster to the land, and the small ones will involve human lives.
Now that she is in the scene, except for the accident at the beginning, she has understood the overall situation at this moment.
Emperor Yuan Jia must have made sufficient preparations.
This blow is a lore blow.
Before making a move, Empress Dowager Xiao may have been imprisoned, and as for the little power that their mother and daughter have at hand, it must have been under the control of Emperor Yuan Jia at this time.
Plan and then move, one hit and kill.
In this game, they have no room for backhanding, so they can only wait to be killed.
The eldest princess sighed.
That's it, the ending is set, what's the benefit of thinking?
Losing is losing, a senseless struggle, but it's just a shame.
She opened her eyes and looked around.
Speaking of which, she has been to Longqing Palace a few times, but all of them were when she was a child.
At that time, there were several old Shang palaces living in this palace, because they were too old and there was no family member outside, the first emperor was merciful, so he allowed them to live here, and rewarded them with some firewood and rice every month for them to live.
To put it bluntly, they just have to wait for death.
She was so momentous.
The eldest princess chuckled and coughed twice.
She vaguely remembered that this palace was very large, and where she was at this time should be in the main hall, behind the main hall, there are three palace rooms, and there is also a side hall on the left and right of the main hall.
It is said that when Gaozu was in the time, Longqing Palace was the residence of a favorite concubine, and the favorite concubine later committed a big taboo, Gaozu was furious, and gave a white silk, and the favorite concubine was hanged under the beam of the main hall.
The eldest princess slowly raised her head.
Everywhere she looked, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see where the beam was or where the top was, even if there was really a beautiful woman hanging in front of her, she couldn't see it.
Zhang looked at it with wide eyes for a while, and suddenly, her brows jumped.
A faint, yellowish beam of light was projecting into the deepest part of the night, reflecting a star of vermilion.
The eldest princess stood up at once.
It's candlelight!
Someone in the apse?!
She stared at the blush, her pupils constricted.
Apart from her, who else will be in Longqing Palace?
Could it be......
"Gillian!" The eldest princess blurted out, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she stepped forward.
How could she forget that her Gillian was also in the palace.
Even she, the mother, was restrained, and her daughter entered the palace early in the morning, presumably at this time, she was also under house arrest here.
This thought was about to arise, and the eldest princess's heart hurt like a tear, and she called again with all her might: "Gillian, for the mother is here, Gillian is not afraid!" ”
In the empty hall, her voice was swallowed up by the night, and it could not stir up the slightest echo.
The eldest princess gasped and groped her way forward.
The ground in disrepair had long since lost its former level, shallow pits and bricks overlapped, she walked one foot deeper, one foot shallow, staggered, shaped like a child, tripped several times, and struggled to get up several times, her arms and forehead were soon covered with abrasions, and her palms were pierced by stones, and her hands were covered with slippery blood.
She didn't seem to feel anything, only followed the direction in her memory, quickly passed through the main hall, came to a corner of the north wall, and stretched out her hand to touch it.
The palm touched a depression, and there was a clear wooden texture, and the carved patterns on it were gliding over her fingertips.
That's a door.
As she recalled, the door led to the apse.
She was slightly overjoyed, found the knocker, and pushed hard.
The door opened silently, and a faint smell of oil wafted through the air.
The eldest princess did not hesitate, raised her feet and walked inside.
This portal must have been oiled in advance, so as not to make unnecessary noises, and with Emperor Yuan Jia's steady temperament, this matter must have been ordered by him.
This shows all the more that her guess is correct.
In Longqing Palace, there is not only the eldest princess.
