26, Ruyi (3)
"Your Highness, I came here with my head covered and forcibly tied up." Chu Ning said aggrievedly, "Originally, today I followed my sister to celebrate Miss Meng's birthday, who knew that the carriage broke down on the way, and the two sisters went back first. ”
She glanced at the crown prince, and then at Ji Chongguang: "The matter of the prince and nobles, how can I know about my little woman?" One of you said that I came to assassinate and frame me, and the other said that I was secretly colluding with others and had bad intentions. Now that the queen is here, I dare to say a word, and implore the queen to investigate thoroughly and return the little girl to innocence. ”
The eunuch who stood beside the queen and served was the one who had come to report the news before, and he bowed down and said to the queen: "When the old slave came, he did meet someone from the Suyin family and was looking for someone. ”
The queen nodded slightly, obviously having made up her mind on this matter, she stood up: "I really don't want to disturb the prince of Chongguang, since Dongqi accepted the prince in the first place, he will not easily regret it, let alone go back on his treachery." ”
"Queen Mother......" The prince was still unwilling, but he was swept away by the queen's eyes, and he didn't continue to talk after all.
The queen's gaze fell on Chu Ning again, and her voice suddenly revealed a fierceness: "I know you, you are the little girl who smashed Xuancang with a gong on the day of the Jingyin Festival." Even dare to smash the treasure of your own town, what else do you dare not do? She turned to the eunuch who was accompanying her and ordered, "Take it back and hand it over to General Xue for careful interrogation." ”
The Xue family has always been friendly with the prince, and the queen's arrangement is to give the prince a great face, and the prince is happy on his face, so naturally he no longer opposes it.
There are many rumors about the royal palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. It is said that the first king of the Eastern Qi Dynasty was once a powerful minister who helped the Great Zhou royal family win the world, and his skills were superb and unfathomable. At the beginning of the world, when the princes were divided, his old man personally selected this place near the mountains and the sea for the construction of the palace. Legend has it that there are countless rare and exotic beasts in the palace, and they can receive the aura of heaven and earth.
Chu Ning never thought that he would enter the Dongqi Palace for the first time in this way. Of course, she can't really enter the forbidden place of the palace. To the north of the palace is an animal garden, and between the animal garden and the palace is a long and cold passage, where some slaves who do rough work live, and some palace people who make mistakes will be locked up here. The place where Chu Ning was held was in this corridor.
Someone must have tried to give her some color, and she was being held with several unnamed beasts. Before she had even entered, she could already smell the fishy smell of the beasts, perhaps the fresh scent of a girl, and the beasts kept whining at her.
Chu Ning was twisted by his arm and pushed forward violently, and before his eyes could adjust to the dim light, the lock fell behind him with a "bang". A black shadow more than a man tall burst out, and a thunderous roar came out of its mouth.
The thing that rushed towards him was like a huge black bear, but it had a monkey face, and wet saliva flowed from its bloody mouth. The thing staggered over, raised its front paws and pounced on Chu Ning.
Chu Ning lowered his body and slid down against the monster's armpit, falling on the spot behind it, his face buried between his arms. Since it bears a bit like a bear, it may be like a bear, and it is not interested in motionless dead things.
But she soon realized that she had been mistaken, and that the monster was clearly not a bear, and when she saw her fall to the ground, she leaned over and sniffed again and again, and with its front paws like iron pincers, tried to turn her over. The monster's saliva dripped down on her, burning like it was on fire.
Chu Ning sensed that the smell of the monster was a little farther away, and then he heard the sound of Suosuo's teething, which was the performance of the beast before it was ready to eat its prey.
Sure enough, the grinding of teeth stopped, and the breath of the monster swooped down along with a gust of fishy wind. Chu Ning had nowhere to avoid, so he had to turn over and meet it, and took the opportunity of it bowing his head to come down, and hugged its neck.
The monster raised its front paws and pounced, and Chu Ning used its strength to slip straight to its back. The monster straightened up and let out a roar that rustled the trees beneath the palace walls.
Chu Ning's position is very flattering, just in the middle of its back, and its two front paws are up and down, left and right, and they can't reach it. The monster was clearly enraged, and threw it several times in quick succession, but before it could shake off the person on its back, it slammed into the wall.
The fur of the monster was as smooth as satin. Chu Ning didn't want to be crushed into a meatloaf, so he could only let go of his hand, slid straight down the curve of its vertebrae, stopped at the position of its waist, and grabbed the fat on its ribs with both sides with his hands as if he were hugging a big tree. The piece of meat was fluffy and soft, with a plump elasticity in the hand.
As soon as Chu Ning's hand was grasped, the unknown monster suddenly trembled, and a strange cry came out of his throat. A possibility welled up in her mind, but she was not sure, and reached out and grabbed it again. This time, the monster's cry was more pronounced, like the laughter of a child when it is tickled.
"Ha, so you're afraid of itching." Chu Ning chuckled lightly, and grabbed it more than a dozen times with his two hands. The fierce beast that was still menacing just now turned around in place like a puppy.
Chu Ning gently climbed on its neck and sat firmly, and was about to pat its head when suddenly a deafening, but familiar, roar suddenly came from the dark corner of the room, and even the monster she was riding under her trembled.
