Chapter 9: Fooling Around

Feeling that Ye Luxin's gaze fell on him like a poisonous snake, Xiao Luzi couldn't help but shudder, his eyes looked at the ground, and tried his best to stay calm.

The guard behind Yelushin stepped forward and rudely pushed him behind Xiao Luzi, pushing him to kneel down in front of Yelusin's table.

"Since you are a close confidant of Concubine Lian, do you know the whereabouts of your master?" Jeremiah asked.

Xiao Luzi's face turned blue, but he forcibly suppressed his nervousness and shook his head.

"The people around these concubines are very loyal, but they are afraid of ......," Shi Rouer whispered in Yeluxin's ear.

"Well," Ye Luxin nodded, and was about to call the soldiers from outside to drag Xiao Luzi down and torture him. But a voice suddenly rose behind him, "King, the slave knows the whereabouts of Concubine Lian." ”

The crowd looked to the source of the voice. But he saw a little eunuch standing beside Yelushin serving wine, with an ordinary face, except for a wound under his chin, with half a plaster on it.

"Do you really know where Concubine Lian is?" Jeremiah asked.

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, Su Mi hurriedly trotted down the high platform, knelt down beside Xiao Luzi, and said to Yeluxin and Shi Rou'er: "Back to the king, the villain has great courage, and he doesn't dare to deceive you, the king." The minions used to serve near Caiwei Palace, so they knew a little. ”

"Tell me about it. If there is really news, your reward is indispensable. ”

"Thank you for your reward. Su Mi had a look of ecstasy on his face, and said with a sneer: "The slave was originally to serve the flowers and trees near the Caiwei Palace. So I saw with my own eyes that Concubine Lian Niangniang took her personal palace maid Mi Qing to the direction of the Shenwu Gate Tower. It must have been about two hours before the king's soldiers and horses entered the palace. ”

Shi Rou'er asked in surprise, "How did she go to the city tower?" She's just an ordinary palace concubine. ”

"This ......" Su Mi thought about how to deal with it in his mind, and said, "This ...... Since the city was besieged, Concubine Lian Niangniang would go to the Shenwu Gate Tower every morning, and it seemed that she was quite concerned about the war. ”

"That's true. Xiao Luzi also reacted and hurriedly responded.

"She's guts enough. Shi Rou'er said nonchalantly, but a trace of doubt flashed across her face. Shenwu Gate City Tower goes down through the square and the front is the palace gate, if you get the news when the Liao army just entered the city. There is indeed a silver lining.

Could it be that she really had such good luck that she escaped before the Liao army entered the city?

No way. The Liao people came too fast, she was just a weak woman, how could she have this decision and be alone......

Ye Luxin's eyes fell on one of the green-robed generals in the seat, who was his forward general, the first to lead his army into the palace.

"Your Majesty, when our army entered the palace, a few palace people did run out. But they are all miscellaneous servants who are responsible for guarding and cleaning the palace gate, and it is impossible to have palace concubines. The green-robed general saw Yelusin's gaze and hurriedly argued.

Ye Luxin snorted coldly, turned his head and ordered the attendants around him to summon the Caiwei Palace and the palace people who served at the Shenwu Gate at that time.

Su Mi was secretly anxious in her heart, what was the reason for Yeluxin to look for herself with such fanfare. Is it just because of the psychology of lustful curiosity?

After a while, the Liao soldiers walked in with a group of palace people.

With a wave of his hand, the singing and dancing in the hall immediately stopped. The dancer retreated to the side of the temple. The soldiers escorted seven or eight palace men forward.

Su Mi turned her head to look quietly.

There were three or four people in her palace, but most of them were eunuchs and maids with ordinary appearances, all of them looking haggard. Mi Hong and several other palace maids with outstanding looks don't know where to go. Su Mi's heart darkened, knowing that most of them had encountered an accident.

Yeluxin asked where Concubine Lian was on the day of the breakdown, and everyone trembled, how dare they not tell the truth? Rushes. But the general context is explained clearly.

"In this way, Concubine Lian has indeed gone to the Shenwu Gate Tower. Jereshin pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What does she do every day in the castle?" ”

The people in Su Mi's palace were dumbfounded, Su Mi has always been served by Mi Qing, and few people in the palace. So it was difficult for the people to answer.

"This ......" A little eunuch serving from the Shenwu Sect hesitated for a moment and said, "Concubine Lian usually stands there and looks out at the city wall for a while, as if she is checking the battle site, and she doesn't return to the palace until noon...... By the way, the minions remembered, before the city was breached. Concubine Lian Niangniang went to find Prince Yu.

"Before you say the city. She's with that Prince Yu?! Jerusin's expression became solemn. This Prince Yu was the commander of the remaining guards in the capital this time, which made the Liao army suffer a lot. Jeremiah wanted to enter the city, so he took him down and killed the demonstrator. Unexpectedly, in the past few days, they searched all over the palace and royal palace, and the royal nobles of Daqi were confiscated by them, but they did not find this high-ranking and powerful prince. At this time, the three words Prince Yu can be regarded as a small thorn in his heart. He had already made an order to intensify the search in the city, but there was no news so far.

"What did she go to Prince Yu for?" Shi Rouer asked suspiciously.

"When Concubine Lian Niangniang went to the city these days, she often saw Prince Yu, and the two often didn't know what they were talking about together. The little eunuch was originally serving outside the gate of the main hall of the city tower, and when he remembered the situation of that day, he poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said it all: "...... On the day the city was broken, Niangniang had already gone down the city tower, but she ran back, looking very hurried, and then ran into the palace to find Prince Yu. After that, I didn't know what was discussed, Prince Yu asked the generals who were on standby outside to go in, and I didn't know what affairs were handled...... Then the king, thy men and horses entered the city. ”

"Yes, the minions have also seen the two of them standing side by side at the head of the city. Another palace person from the Shenwu Sect also said busily.

The corners of Shi Rou'er's mouth hooked up a mocking smile. "It turns out that Concubine Lian already has someone who cherishes flowers and protects flowers. The king is destined to have no part. I heard that although Prince Yu is a royal nobleman, he is a rare top master in the palace, and it is not uncommon to be able to escape from the palace with a beautiful woman. ”

Ye Luxin snorted coldly, and the paperwork in his hand clenched unconsciously.

Su Mi bowed her head and knelt in the hall, and sighed secretly in her heart, before breaking the city, she discussed the war with Qi Hao several times, which was indeed against the palace rules. Gossip. It's just that at such a juncture when the country is ruined. These palace rules have long been devalued to nothing, and at most they are only worth making Shi Rouer angry.

But the matter involved Qi Hao again, Qi Hao, as the prince of the prison country, was in charge of the government and military strategy of the capital of Qi before the city was broken, and his identity was very important, and this matter must be difficult to get a good time.

Sure enough, I heard that Qi Hao, the prince of Yu, was involved. The generals' expressions also became more serious, and they asked a few words alternately, seeing that they could no longer ask for any valuable news, Yeluxin called his attendants and ordered them to torture the guards captured at the palace gate to find the whereabouts of these two people.

After that, the matter was put aside for the time being, and Su Mi and their minions were waved to retire.

Su Mi and Xiao Luzi wiped a handful of sweat in their hearts, and they could have escaped.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Winter mornings. The sky was still dark, and Su Mi and Xiao Luzi had already gotten up early, holding brooms, and were responsible for cleaning up the snow in front of Fengyi Palace.

Sweeping to the side of the palace gate, Su Mi's movements slowed down.

Her body had been placed here for a long time, almost turning into a jade statue carved from ice and snow. Su Mi squatted down. Carefully emptied the snow around her with her hands, her fingers brushed her face, and she felt a cold touch like jade under her fingertips, which made Su Mi's mood also sad.

"Can't bear to touch her body with these things?" Suddenly, a delicate voice came from behind Su Mi, "It seems that in this palace, her prestige is still good." ”

Su Mi turned around, it was Shi Rou'er, she looked like she had just gotten up. A peach-colored pipa placket dress embroidered with gold thread peonies. The hair is loose and the expression is lazy. The placket was unkempt, the white satin bandeau was half-hidden, and a mink fur cloak was draped diagonally over her body, revealing a pink and white neck, and she seemed to be completely unaware of the cold of the deep winter, and her demeanor was infinitely reverie.

At this time, she looked at Su Mi indifferently, and then turned her gaze to the body of the queen below, her expression half pity, half mockery.

Su Mi leaned down, "The slave has seen the jade concubine Niangniang." "Although these palace concubines have served the Liao people, their titles have not changed, and the Liao people don't care about these, maybe for them, listening to the minions around them calling the old titles of the women in their arms is another way to show their conquest achievements.

Shi Rou'er ignored Su Mi's salute, she walked straight to the queen's corpse, stared at it for a while, and suddenly said, "At this time, it looks really clean." ”

Su Mi couldn't figure out what she meant, so she had to be silent.

The cold wind blew, Shi Rou'er's cloak flew and encouraged, and after she became thinner, she had a weak and charming attitude.

“…… When I first entered the palace, she swore that she would help me and cultivate me, and then I believed it...... I was stupid back then. Afterward...... It dawned on me when I was trampled under my feet. It turns out that no woman willingly helps another woman to get closer to her husband. If she really had to do this, then she might have a deeper resentment towards you......"

The wind howled, and her voice was drowned out in the wind, and she couldn't hear it intermittently.

Su Mi lowered her head silently behind her, listening to her talk about the past.

She knew the Wang family's plan to cultivate Shi Rou'er into the palace, and she also knew the reason why the Wang family did this, but it was just ...... Su Mi's eyes fell on the queen, she was so arrogant, how could she bear this kind of behavior of having to obey the family's arrangements and arrange other favorite concubines for her husband?

I'm afraid that in her heart, Shi Rouer is a thorn that is even more painful than herself.

That's why she encouraged Shi Rouer to use such direct means to deal with herself, and she didn't have the idea of killing three birds with one stone.

Shi Rouer was young and vigorous at that time, and she still couldn't figure out the turbulent waves under the prosperity and splendor in this palace, and she didn't know that in this palace, there could be no real and unchanging allies, and some were just layers of interest entanglements and endless fighting. And after this short half a year, she really understands a lot.

It's just that......

Su Mi looked up at the sky, and a faint morning light gradually appeared on the horizon, but it seemed that even the light was cold, shining on the snow and frost all over the ground, reflecting the indifferent silver, and the chill between heaven and earth became more and more intense.

The snow in this palace has not stopped......

The cold wind continued, blowing Su Mi's hair scattered, and she raised her hand to brush her hair.

"You know what?" Shi Rou'er suddenly turned her head to look at her, her eyes were deep and penetrating: "The way you brushed your hair just now is very similar to a person." ”。.。
